Recompiling ns: linker error

[Huiwen Li <huiwenli@nortelnetworks.com>]

Hello,

Has anyone had such linker error when recompiling ns:

This is only the last part of compiling. Even I compiled with the original
ns files without adding any other files, I still had this problem. I am
wondering if this is the system problem or I unintently changed sth. or it
is a bug? I did check /usr/local/bin and I could find these libraries (.a
files). What's wrong???

Thanks,
