Sir/ Madam,

I am Research Scholar in Computer Science Department,
University of Hyderabad, Hyderabad, India. I am
currently doing my research in congestion control
algorithms. I need the support of Network Simulator to
test my algorithms. So I have downloaded the
ns-allinone version. We used the command ./install in
the directory in which we want to install. Though we
didn't get any error we are doubtful that it didn't
get installed. The ../../ns command for testing the
tcl scripts didn't work. The installation gave a
message that the ns is succuessfully installed but
coming to the validation part by using the command in
README file it is giving error like this

Error loading the shared libraries:libtk8.3 cannot
open the shared libraries.

 We think that it is not properly installed. We are
working in Linux systems. Is it that it is to be
installed in the root directory only or any where we
can install it using the command given in the readme
file. So please help regarding installing the ns
simulator in my computer system so that I can easily
use the ns. Also please tell me where I have to run my
tcl scripts. Is it under ns-2.1b7 directory or
somewhere else. Please help me regarding the above
matter. 

Thanking you, Sir/Madam,

Yours sincerely,
Surya Kiran,
Research Scholar,
