By extracting the file I just opened up the tgz like it was a .zip file and
I placed it in the usr directory in the correct sub folders.

I tried to do what you said

I am in the home folder

colby_at_Drco /home
$ tar -xvfz g95-x86-cygwin.tgz
tar: z: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

so I had to do it manually

then I tried this

colby_at_Drco /usr/local/bin
$ configure -cygwin g95
bash: configure: command not found

Finally I tried this

colby_at_Drco ~/amber9/src
$ make install
Error: ./configure must be executed before make !
make: *** [configured] Error 2
