Re: NS installation and configuration question

[Haobo Yu <haoboy@isi.edu>]

On FreeBSD tcl/tk are installed under different directories under
/usr/local/{include,lib} so ns will not mess up versions. It's unclear
what's your case, but you can always check tcl version by typing 'set
tcl_version' inside ns. Note ns does not need tk.
