[ns] Problem with installation of NS 2.28

[Emre CAN]

Hello,

I agree with all that, but be careful not to delete what was already
declared as environment variable..

type "echo $PATH" to see what was already declared as PATH environment
variable, then copy that line and add yours to the "export" command. Do the
same thing with LD_LIBRARY_PATH and so on...

have a nice one
