RE: [ns] ns-allinone installation problem

["Enrique Lavalle Pareja" <elaval@essex.ac.uk>]

The init.tcl exists already in one of the directories shown before (e.i.
/root/usr/tmp/ns-allinone-2.1b7a/lib/tcl8.3).

Should I put the symlink to the other directories as well?

Regards,
Enrique

The init.tcl exists, but it's been looked for everywhere but its
exact location. I wasted too much time trying to track down the
cause...

Just put in a symlink so that init.tcl is also in one of the places
looked-in above.
