When trying to start a chicken repl, I get the message: Searching for program: No such file or directory, csi.
I think this is because Arch Linux installs chicken not as csi, but as chicken-csi.
After looking at the source code, I found that this function does not handle this behavior.

(geiser-custom--defcustom geiser-chicken-binary
 (cond ((eq system-type 'windows-nt) '("csi.exe" "-:c"))
 ((eq system-type 'darwin) "csi")
 (t "csi"))
 "Name to use to call the Chicken executable when starting a REPL."
 :type '(choice string (repeat string))
 :group 'geiser-chicken)

I think it's worth adding an option for Arch Linux, for example using lsb_release or /etc/os-release or something similar.

This can be fixed in init.el with following command:

(setq-default geiser-chicken-binary "chicken-csi")
