Hi,
I can see the way you have installed NS-2.I think it is fine. Whenever % sign appears after writing ns or ./ns it means that ns-2 has been installed successfully. but do not start you nam with ./nam. it will not work and you do not have to be the power user for writing a program as well. If you are in linux, simply type 'vi example1.tcl'. It will open up an editor and create a file named 'example1.tcl' in your home directory. Press insert and write what ever script you wanna write there. I would suggest try script already in the examples of tutorials. Once script has been written press Esc and write ':wq'. This will write 'example1.tcl' premanently and quit the screen. now its time to run the script. Give the command ns example1.tcl and press enter. there you go... First example of ns-2 will be infront of you in the shape of nam editor. Try this way and if any problems, do not hesitate to ask me. Regards, Bilal A.
