[ns] test-all-webcache FAILS!!!!!

["Paolo Di Francesco" <paipai@tin.it>]

hi ns gurus,

I still have a problem compiling ns...It compiles but it fails in some 
validation tests....
I am compiling on Solaris7, gcc, and I have fixed with the patch I found 
on the ns-ftp site. The output from the validation is:

validate overall report: some tests failed:
     ./test-all-webcache
to re-run a specific test, cd tcl/test; ../../ns test-all-TEST-NAME


so I do:

cd tcl/test; ./test-all-webcache

and after some success I obtain:


---------------------------------------

----------------

should I fix something? Can I ignore them? What will NOT work when I try 
to use ns? Where can I find the patches?

Thank you!
