Re: Failure in building otcl-1.0a3 with tcl/tk 8.0.3

["Roger \"WOJA\" Kermode" <woja@media.mit.edu>]

I had the same problem when trying to install the necessary parts
separately under Linux 2.2.1 (upgraded from redhat 5.2, linux2.0.36-07)

I had better luck trying the ns-allinone-2.1b4a release.

NB. to compile nam in the ns-allinone release you will need to
add the dl library to LIB rule in 

[your path]/ns-allinone-2.1b4a/nam-1/Makefile

and then recompile.

Cheers,

Roger
