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.
