Follow-up: Thanks to Mark McCullough for the suggestion that I set $INSTALLROOT to .
I tried this but got the same results: ----------- richard.naff@L6550b041 / $ INSTALLROOT=. richard.naff@L6550b041 / $ echo $INSTALLROOT . richard.naff@L6550b041 / $ /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 ----------- Apparently the package command is forcing both $INSTALLROOT and $PACKAGEROOT to "/" no matter what their values before execution of package. I gather it's due to some sort of values coded within the ast-base distribution package. I don't know enough about how these packages are built nor how the package command interprets the contents in order to work around this. What I need at the very least is a copy of ksh-93 properly installed into my CygWin environment on my Win-7 machine. Is there a way to manually extract the ksh components and apply them to my various CygWin directories?
