tcl8.3.2 configuration failed! Exiting ...
Tcl is not part of the ns project. Please see www.Scriptics.com
to see if they have a fix for your platform.
Solution:
Basically, in some of the configure scripts the calls to awk are malformed.
Go to the ns-allinone folder and type
find . -name configure
A list of the configure scripts should appear.
For each of these replace any line that looks like this:
system=MP-RAS-`awk ‘{print }’ /etc/.relid’`
with ...
system=MP-RAS-`awk ‘{print }’ /etc/.relid`
Now rerun ./install in the ns-allinone folder.
