Hello again good folk,

This week my general confusion has focussed in on installing the
giflib build I did using cygport (I finally found, understood and
followed the instructions for using cygport! Hurray!).

I then tried to use Setup to install the various packages created in
/inst/ ( under  giflib-5.2.2-1.x86_64/inst/ )  by selecting "Install
from Local Directory" and then entering the full pathname ending in
inst/ for the packages files. I just couldn't get it to work. Setup
seemed to be unable to find the giflib packages ("packages plural"
because I wanted not only the runtime binaries but also the devel
files for compiling further software against giflib).

Is there any known issue with setup-x86_64.exe release v2.932
installing local pkgs?

Thanks, and sorry if this is an uninspiring report ;-)
