I had a similar problem with my MinGW and MSYS build which has now been 
resolved.  It turns out there were two problems.  The first was that it was 
looking for the wrong library (libchicken-0.dll instead of libchicken.dll) 
and that has been fixed.  The second was that it looks like chicken has some 
difficulties with spaces in filenames and as the default installation 
directory is c:\Program Files it didn't work.  Changing the installation 
directory to c:\chicken-new 'fixed' this problem too.

On top of that, after the installation I manually copied the files from 
c:\chicken-new\bin to c:\chicken-new and then csc and chicken-setup started 
working correctly.  I hope this helps.
