Hi,

I am using Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 3. As far as I know I have
all the needed libraries installed.
I have tried the tutorial guide on your site but it won't work too on
the same reason.  

Best Regards,
Andrey Chervyakov

>> Hi all,
>> I have tried to install ns-2 (different versions 2.29, 2.29.2, 2.29.3
