I got the same problem before. The executable "ns.dyn" can be produced
if 
"make ns.dyn" is issued or "ns" can be produced "-static" is produced
from 
the Makefile and issue "make". If that does not work, you may want to
check 
where "libdl.so" file is located in your system. If it is not under the
default 
library directory, then it has to be specified in Makefile. 

I also encoutered a small problem in linking: tcl installs the file
"init.tcl" 
in ...../lib/tcl8.0/ and make searches ....../lib/ for it. This gives
error: 

tclsh8.0 bin/tcl-expand.tcl tcl/lib/ns-lib.tcl | 
/dsg/dsg3/dylan/tclcl-1.0b5/tcl2c++ et_ns_lib > 
gen/ns_tcl.cc
application-specific initialization failed: 
Can't find a usable init.tcl in the following 
directories: 
    /dsg/dsg3/dylan/lib /usr/local/lib/tcl8.0 
/cs/public/lib/tcl8.0 /cs/tcl8.0a2/library 
/cs/public/library
This probably means that Tcl wasn't installed properly.

After I copied "init.tcl" from /dsg/dsg3/dylan/lib/tcl8.0/ to 
/dsg/dsg3/dylan/lib/, the error message disappears.

Finally, I have a problem I still cannot figure out by myself. When I 
type test-all, it gives the following output and stalled:


columbia<76> test-all

Test output differs from reference output
Diagnose with: diff test-output/tahoe1.test test-output/tahoe1
Differences due to floating-point formatting are not significant.
next?
Problems found with input data.


Any help will be highly appreciated.
