macOS Scheme Compiler

[CaptainZap]

I'm curious about Scheme and am trying to install Chicken for a compiler and so far I am not having any success on making it and installing it. I ran

sudo make PLATFORM=macosx ARCH=universal

and I got this

ld: library not found for -ldylib1.10.5.o
ld: library not found for -ldylib1.10.5.o
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
lipo: can't open input file: /var/tmp//ccyJaoh0.out (No such file or directory)
make[1]: *** [libchicken.dylib] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

If you have an answers, thanks.

Here are the steps I followed:
Downloaded the tar.gz, and unzipped it to a folder on my desktop.
In the terminal, changed into the directory the archive was unzipped to.
Ran:

make PLATFORM=macosx PREFIX=/users/MYUSERNAME/Desktop/ckn
make PLATFORM=macosx PREFIX=/users/MYUSERNAME/Desktop/ckn install

I then moved into /users/MYUSERNAME/Desktop/ckn/bin and created a file called test.scm with this:

(begin
  (display "Hello, World!")
  (newline))

I then ran:

./csc -o test test.scm
./test

And got the output:

Hello, World!

I didn't use arch... it didn't seem like I had to. It took about 4-5 minutes (Mario Kart Wii was thankfully at hand to fill the time) to run the first make, otherwise everything was pretty fast. I think the only reason you'd need sudo is if you wanted it to install in /usr/bin or something like that.

Note: This is on 10.4, on an intel machine.

K, thanks it worked, although I'm still a little confused on why I couldn't install it the first time.
