After bug reports from a couple of people, I believe that mem-trace.h
works under Solaris 2.4 in the current snapshot.  (Although I've not
seen the compile error that you report previously.)

I added this to the ns-problems page:

  <li> <strong>Problem:</strong>mem-trace.h doesn't compile or ns
       fails to link because of errors about getrusage.

       <p>
       <strong>Solution:</strong>
       Ns-2.1b4 and snapshots after 15-Sep-98 should autodetect getrusage.
       Upgrade to those versions.

       <strong>Work-around:</strong>
       Comment out lines in mem-trace.h which reference getrusage and/or sbrk
       until things compile.
       (This will disable memory monitoring but basic ns will still work.)
