Description
I just noticed this on salmonella:
http://tests.call-cc.org/2010/12/16/salmonella-report/uuid-ossp.html
I reproduced the error with trunk but got an additional line:
/usr/local/bin/csc -feature compiling-extension -setup-mode -k uuid-ossp.scm -shared -optimize-leaf-routines -inline -output-file uuid-ossp.so -emit-import-library uuid-ossp -scrutinize -fixnum-arithmetic -optimize-level 3 -debug-level 1 -no-procedure-checks -no-bound-checks

Is there an external program / lib needed we need to install there?
1) The 2010/12/16/salmonella-report failure is due to a minor (but in this case fatal) Chicken compiler bug.
2) The uuid-config program is part of the OSSP uuid library installation. See http://www.ossp.org/pkg/lib/uuid/.
3) The egg doc does state "Requires at least release 1.5.0 of the OSSP UUID Library." But there isn't any attempt to check existence on the part of the install, except by failure.
