ns installation problem under solaris 2.4 (gcc compiler)

["KJ CURRAN" <kj.curran@ulst.ac.uk>]

I am using solaris 2.4 and I am attempting to reinstall ns after 
adding the 'self organised transcoding' libraries and rmp stuff etc. 
NS to my knowledge has been installed ok previously. It's been a long 
time since I used the simulator - however when I go to the root 
directory of the ns files and type ./install

I get as far as the following (error message follows). Any 
suggestions?
