I got the same problem when installing ns on solaris because
the c++ compiler was not able to find its library.
I solved it by defining the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH to
point to the right directory e.g. 'setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH "/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib"'.
I think this should be enough to solve you problem.
