The problem is that the program "tclsh8.0" can't be found to build ns.)
(Is sh's error message not clear??)

Configure should auto-find this program (in the current ns release).
It sounds like either
    1. you're running an old version
    2. configure is failing

If it's 2, please look at the code in configure involving V_TCLSH.
It works on our systems (to the best of my knowledge).
