NAM Trouble

[David Lapsley <david@melbourneit.com.au>]

Hi All,
I am having trouble getting nam to work on my system and would
greatly appreciate any help you can give!

I have successfully compiled:   ns-allinone-2.1b4a
and run through the validation suite.

However, when I try to run a simple example I get the
following error:

% nam out.nam
% nam: bad screen number "0"
% Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I am running Linux Redhat 5.2 with tcl/tk libs
version 8.0.3-20, and gcc version egcs-2.90.29 980515 
(egcs-1.0.3 release). I have tried patching nam but got this:

(Patch is indented 6 spaces.)
patching file `trace.cc'
Hunk #1 FAILED at 185.
Hunk #2 FAILED at 413.
2 out of 2 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to trace.cc.rej

I also tried to run the 1.0a6 binaries on the nam website,
but got this:
% ./nam-1.0a6 out.nam 
% ./nam-1.0a6: error in loading shared libraries
% /usr/lib/libtcl8.0.so: undefined symbol: stat

Also tried to compile nam versions 1.0a5 and 1.0a6
but got same error as in my first example when I tried
to run nam.

Any help would be *greatly* appreciated!!!

Thanks in advance,
