Hi Lupe,
I am facing the similar problem. Both Ns 2.33 and NS 2.34 do not work with Cygwin 1.7. The suggestion is to go back and use Cygwin 1.5. As for you problem--an alert for gcc is not found, I guess you can ignore it by pressing 'n'. GCC is on your system but NS2 just can't find it. You can begin building it. The real problem, (according to my guess), is you cannot build Tcl/Tk on Cygwin 1.7. I am trying several options. I would like to share it with you. Please see below: 1. Cygwin 1.7 does not work for both 2.33 and 2.34. 2. Cygwin 1.5 MAY work with 2.33 and 2.34. I tried it long ago. And, it worked. The problem is I cannot find Cygwin 1.5 anywhere. I try to use setup-legacy.exe from Cygwin. But I have a feeling that it still install Cygwin v 1.7. 3. Cygwin 1.5 does not work with Windows 7. Even if you get it to work, you cannot run it on Windows 7. Here is my main question: Where do you get Cygwin 1.5.25.
