If you download and unpack the RANCID sources, there is a 'README' file 
in there with some quick installation instructions. Simply follow the 12 
steps listed in that document.

I don't know much about RANCID, but this might get you started: It 
appears that RANCID is mostly written in script languages (perl, 
expect), with a very small amount of C code that has to be compiled. So, 
from a Cygwin terminal:

     # Download and unpack the sources.
     wget ftp://ftp.shrubbery.net/pub/rancid/rancid-2.3.8.tar.gz
     tar -xf rancid-2.3.8.tar.gz
     cd rancid-2.3.8

     # Configure.
     ./configure --prefix=/usr
     # This gets stuck checking for 'ping'.
     # I had to open up Windows Task Manager and kill 'ping.exe'.

     # Compile.
     make

Then you can 'make install' to do the installation. This gets you past 
step 2 of the installation instructions in the README file; I'll leave 
it up to you to read and complete the remaining steps.

Cheers,

Dave.
