    Deb,
    
    Our instructions all a reader who is familiar with a Unix-type environment.
    Some hints that should help:
    
    + You should be using the Cygwin "bash" shell, not the DOS command prompt.
    + berkeley_upc-2.10.0.tar.gz is a compressed "tar" archive containing 
    the source code - you need to unpack it
    + The "\" at the end of the configure command is a Unix shell thing for 
    continuing a line.  So, if you entered the MPI_CC=... on the same line 
    you might have more success
    + MPI_CC is a setting for the MPI compiler, not the mpiexec command 
    (which runs mpi apps), but the default probably works
    + You do need a setting for MPIRUN_CMD (which will be a "template" that 
    include mpiexec).
    + CC and C++ default to gcc and g++ when they are available
    + To install in D:\upc you probably need "--prefix=/cygdrive/d/upc" on 
    the configure command line
    
    So combining those, you probably want to enter the following five 
    commands in the Cygwin "bash" shell:
    
    cd /cygdrive/d/upc
    tar xfz /cygdrive/d/S-PLUS7/R/Parallel/Berkeley/berkeley_upc-2.10.0.tar.gz
    mkdir build
    cd build
    ../berkeley_upc-2.10.0/configure --prefix=/cygdrive/d/upc 
    MPIRUN_CMD='mpiexec -n %N %C' --enable-mpi
    
    If that all works, then "make" and "make install" are the next to 
    commands to run.
    The --enable-mpi ensures that if the default MPI_CC setting doesn't 
    work, then the configure step will stop (rather than letting you 
    accidentally build Berkeley UPC without MPI support).  If that happens, 
    we can try to figure out the proper setting for MPI_CC.
