ns-2 installation on Mac OS X (Leopard)

I found a solution in a previous post at
http://mailman.isi.edu/pipermail/ns-developers/2007-March.txt

/usr/bin/ld: Undefined symbols:

_TkCreateXEventSource

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

make: *** [nam] Error 1



The issue is still in tcl/tk shipped by Apple: nam Makefile tries to

link with tcl/tk in /usr/lib. I sorted out this way: first, I created

a link to the core osx library inside nam directory:



$: cd nam-1.13

$: ln -s /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreFoundation.framework/Versions/

A/CoreFoundation libhack.dylib



Then I linked nam with static tcl/tk in ns-allinone:



$: g++ -o nam

It seems to be a solution for the problem with tcl/tk shipped by Apple.
After experimenting with it, kindly post the result here.
