I do some subcontracting work for ATT via Amdocs. I'm trying to get ksh 
(primarily, plus others) onto my Win7 system under my CygWin environment. I 
managed to get the package command installed but when I try to run it against 
the ast-base package it keeps malforming my destination directories. I've tried 
manually setting $PACKAGEROOT and $INSTALLROOT but the package command 
repeatedly sets both to "/"  This leads to failing package actions such as 
"mkdir //lib/arch" and other references to what evaluates as a domain name 
rather than a directory name.

Here's a sample of my run and output (using "environment" in the run) from the 
CygWin root directory:
----------------------------
/bin/package environment flat authorize "I accept 
www.opensource.org/licenses/cpl" password "." setup binary 
http://www.research.att.com/sw/download/ast-base.2011-02-08.cygwin.i386.tgz

PACKAGEROOT=/
export PACKAGEROOT
HOSTTYPE=cygwin.i386
export HOSTTYPE
INSTALLROOT=/
export INSTALLROOT
mkdir //arch
mkdir //arch/cygwin.i386
mkdir //lib
package: warning: cc: not found
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=//lib:/usr/local/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
LIBPATH=//bin://lib:/usr/lib:/lib
export LIBPATH
SHLIB_PATH=//lib
export SHLIB_PATH
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=//lib
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
_RLD_ROOT=//arch::/
export _RLD_ROOT
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Etc., etc., etc.

What do I have to do to set INSTALLROOT to null (or effectively the net results 
thereof) in order to install the ast-base package into my CygWin directory? 
Note that this happens regardless of whether I use "flat" or not. My machine is 
on a domain but I'm installing locally, so I understand that "flat" is an 
option I should use. But even if I don't, I still get the malformed directory 
names as shown above.
