[ns] ns2.1b2 installation problems

[Nipul Jayvant Shah <njshah@unity.ncsu.edu>]

Hi all,

this may be trivial, but I have been trying to install an older version of
ns (ns2.1b2). i managed to configure and make the tcl/tk, otcl, Tclcl. but
i keep getting the following error while configuring ns-2


..
..
checking for libtcl8.0... -L/usr/lib -ltcl
checking for init.tcl... no
checking for tclsh8.0... no
checking for tclsh... tclsh
configure: error: Installation of tcl seems incomplete.
Please correct the problem or re-run with --with-tcl=no.


i thought it couldn't find the tclsh file so i gave it path using
--with-tcl=path/for/tclsh. but that also wouldn't work.

has anyone encoutered this problem before? any suggestions?

thanks in advance.
