I ran into this kind of problem before. The makefile of ns needs to generate
some files using tclsh from some tcl files. Either the makefile can not
find tclsh or the version of tclsh is not correct. In the first case,
of course you need to check the PATH. Furthermore  you can look at the output
of make carefully, you may find that make complains that it can not find tclsh.
In the latter case, you have to get the newest tcl.

Hope it helps
