Hmmm. Sounds like the makefile might still be having trouble with
unusual locations, then.

You could actually try reading the configure output and seeing where
it looks for the tcl debugger; where did it say it looked in the
example you give above?

Try putting the tcl-debug-2.0 dir parallel to the ns-allinone-2.1b8a
dir within the ns dir, configure and make, and tell us if that helps.
