Two possible work-arounds:

- try gcc (which is what we use to build ns and tools)

- ignore the shared libraries and use the static libaries
  (which should be built anyway)

I don't recognize either of the errors you mention because I have
never used the commercial compilers on those platforms.  Perhaps 
Solaris/Irix experts on ns-users can interpret those messages.
