Hi, you must install a (more) complete Cygwin to solve this.
But a better better way to use NS-2 in Windows is install it on a Virtual Machine with Linux. I use virtualbox (virtualbox.org) Ubuntu 8.10 32-bit (ubuntu.com) NS-2 [newer] (http://sourceforge.net/projects/nsnam) After download and install virtualbox, create a VM for Ubuntu. Download and use Ubuntu 8.10 ISO image to mount a CD inside the VM (this is easy with virtualbox) Install Ubuntu. >From the firefox inside Ubuntu, download NS-2 inside the VM. Install NS-2. ALERT! To install NS-2 on Ubuntu, you must use those commands before (install some packs): sudo aptitude install build-essential autoconf automake libxmu-dev I promess you, after this step, NS-2 will install and work smoothly forever! Follow the installation messages of NS-2.
