Re: [ns] Re: NS-2.1b7 installation problem

[John Mehringer <mehringe@ISI.EDU>]

What kind of system are you trying to compile on?  It appears that the
configure script is not working when trying to compile on your computer.
Try running ./configure in the otcl directory and then do a make in that
directory.  If ./configure doesn't work you may have to tell it your
system type.

For example on my linux machine:

./configure --build=i686-unknown-linux --host=i686-unknown-linux
--target=i686-unknown-linux

You would have to change "i686-unknown-linux" to whatever machine type you
have.
