It seems to be a bug.  Thanks for catching and reporting it.  I've
filled a but report (http://www.irp.oist.jp/trac/chicken/ticket/193) for
it.

The patch at
http://www.irp.oist.jp/trac/chicken/attachment/ticket/193/chicken-install-version.diff
seems to make it work, but I don't know if it is the right solution.

Best wishes.
