 On my system (Ubuntu Linux 12.04, with Chicken Scheme 4.7.0 installed from
 the Ubuntu repository using `apt-get`) I cannot add the egg `srfi-19` to
 my deployed executable because of write permissions:

 }}}

 To solve this, I have to use `sudo`. So far this is the only library I am
 using in my project which requires me to do so.

 (Note: before doing this I already installed the egg using `sudo chicken-
 install srfi-19`.)
