[ns] ns install problem on Linux6.2-shared lib



Hi,

i'm trying to install ns2 on Linux 6.2 and i'm getting the following 
problem.  I looked up http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/ns-problems.html#general 
and found the following solution.  but i don't know how exactly to apply 
it.  I've set the environment library path using:

%set LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<path of library>

But this doesn't work.
***********************************************
Problem: Things built OK but don't run because of missing shared libraries 
(for example, you get the message "can't load library 'libtk8.3.so'" or 
"fatal: libtk8.3.so: can't open file: errno=2" [from Solaris]) or 
"libotcl.so can not open shared object file: No such file or directory".
Solution: Many systems require that you do something special when 
installing new shared libraries. Shared-library loading is 
system-dependent, so consult the man page for ld(1) on your system. On many 
systems the program ``ldd'' can be used to diagnose shared-libary problems.
A couple of hints: many systems require that you set the environment 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH to specify where to look for shared libraries. Other 
systems require that you run ldconfig when using new libraries

How 2 implement ld or ldd ?
Thanks for help.
