Your piece 1 is from tcl.
Unfortunately, otcl doesn't seem as good at finding X as otcl.

To work-around the problem you'll have to build ns piece-by-piece and
explicitly tell it where X is.

(Why oh why does Debian install X in /lusr?
RedHat and *BSD put it in /usr/X11R6/*...,
where ns will automatically find it.)
