Comment (by sjamaan):

 This turns out to be caused by a new "security" feature in OS X El Capitan
 ([[
 
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Security/Conceptual/System_Integrity_Protection_Guide/RuntimeProtections/RuntimeProtections.html|System
 Integrity Protection]]), which breaks backward compatibility by
 obliterating environment variables like {{{DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH}}} for so-
 called "system" binaries, like {{{/bin/sh}}}.  When {{{csc}}} invokes
 {{{chicken}}}, it will do so through the shell, which means we lose
 {{{DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH}}}.

 This affects many other projects:

 * [[https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11617|GHC]]
 * [[http://www.postgresql.org/message-
 id/address@hidden|PostgreSQL]]
 *
 
[[https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/issues/4121#issue-104721479|CocoaPods]]
 * [[https://github.com/oracle/node-
 oracledb/issues/149#issuecomment-170747121|NodeJS OracleDB bindings]]
 * Probably many, many more

 See also [[http://stackoverflow.com/a/11585225/588561|this Stack Overflow
 post]] for one possible workaround.
