Re: [ns] ns-allinone-2.1b7 installation

[Haobo Yu <haoboy@packetdesign.com>]

Oops. ns finds tclsh via your $PATH environmental variable. But install
does not set that. :(

One solution is, before you run install, do (assuming you're running
csh/tcsh):

setenv PATH
<path_to_ns_allinone>/tclbox/bin:<path_to_ns_allinone>/tkbox/bin:${PATH}

Do similar things if you are running other shell. 

I'll put a patch to install on the web.
