I am trying to use the package installer bootstrap and keep getting the following:
Now in directory / extracting the file
Please wait...
uudecode: stdin: short file.
gunzip: pkg-1.8-bin35.tar.gz: unexpected end of file
Archive file not extracted/decompressed correctedly.
This is an error. Exiting early. Software not installed.
What am I doing wrong?

I think you're problem lies here.
Direct quotation from Package Install.
http://www.interopsystems.com/tools/warehouse.htm
quote:
The first thing to do to "bootstrap" the installer is to download the file "ftp://ftp.interopsystems.com/pkgs/3.5/pkg-1.8-bin35.sh" to your computer. The installer can be run by the Administrator or by a member of the Administrators group. This file is a self-installing shell script. So run it as:
% sh pkg-1.8-bin35.sh
(If you are using csh/tcsh remember to 'rehash' after this).
Now all of the installer components are installed. This includes the utilities pkg_add, pkg_info, pkg_delete, pkg_create and pkg_sign. You can learn more about each of these utilities by reading their man pages.
To install a package use the pkg_add utility. For example, if you wish to install bash you will enter the following command:
pkg_add ftp://ftp.interopsystems.com/pkgs/3.5/bash-current-bin.tgz
This command will automatically download and install the package. If the package needs to have another package installed with it, that package will be downloaded and installed too.

The error message indicates that the bootstrap script file was truncated.
Try downloading it again. Then check the file size is correct with what is
on the ftp site before running it again.

I went to the FTP site and used the "BIN" download and it worked.
Now I have the following problem installing anything...
$ pkg_add openssl-0.9.7f-bin.tgz
pkg_add(openssl-0.9.7f-bin): add of dependency `env_manpath_ssl-1.0.1-bin' faile
d!
pkg_add(openssl-0.9.7f-bin): add of dependency `env_ldflags_ssl-1.0.1-bin' faile
d!
pkg_add(openssl-0.9.7f-bin): add of dependency `env_ldlibrarypath_ssl-1.0.1-bin'
failed!
pkg_add(openssl-0.9.7f-bin): add of dependency `env_cppflags_ssl-1.0-bin' failed
!
I have seen some posts on this, but none of them seem to help. I cannot use FTP because of our proxy server. I have downloaded the packages using "BIN" and still get the error.

You need to download the packages indicated (e.g. "env_manpath-1.0.1-bin" means file "env_manpath-1.0.1-bin.tgz").
The installer will try very hard to find these packages locally and then via the ftp site. But if you have
not downloaded them and there is no access to the ftp site then it's tough to succeed.
You says you have a proxy server: can it do ftp proxy?
If so then you can set Interix's ftp to use this ftp proxy server.
Read the manual page for ftp and look for the info on the environment variable "ftp_proxy".

Our Proxy server will not do ftp proxy. :(
Okay, I will get those packages.
