      The command missed a word. You ought to give sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libxmu-dev

    "You have installed Tcl 8.5.10 actually
    exactly need Tcl8.4 only "

    for guys who get error of this kind...I want to ask one question " Have you installed ns2.34 before installing ns2.35? If that was the case, then you might have used the command "install ns2 nam xgraph" to install ns2.34 Then you might have used the command autoremove to uninstall ns2 But nam is still installed..The solution is now you go to software manager to uninstall nam(it will ask to uninstall dependencies also...no problems remove them also) now try and execute any tcl files, it will work...

    re,
    I could fix this problem by executing these instruction:

    Fix the error in the linking of otcl by editing line 6304 of otcl-1.13/configure so that it reads
    SHLIB_LD="gcc -shared"
    instead of
    SHLIB_LD="ld -shared"


    I suggest to follow these instructions to install NS2.34 on Ubuntu 11.04 http://erl1.wordpress.com/2011/05/12/installing-ns-2-34-on-ubuntu-11-04/
    or on Ubuntu 11.10 http://erl1.wordpress.com/2011/10/14/installing-ns-2-34-on-ubuntu-11-10-oneiric-ocelot/#comment-233

    (2) You MUST put /home/kirti/ns-allinone-2.35/tcl8.5.10/library into your TCL_LIBRARY environmental
    variable. Otherwise ns/nam will complain during startup.

      I could not find the path settings in my .bashrc file. I used the command "gedit ~/.bashrc" in the terminal to open the file. Is it the right way to access .bashrc for the removal of the path settings?

      you can open the .bashrc in the home folder(for example if your login is pradeep, then the file will be located at /home/pradeep
      just to these steps
      type this command to find out your home
      echo $HOME
      and type
      cd $HOME
      and then
      gedit .bashrc
