[ns] NS-2.27/ NS-2.29 install issues under Cygwin

[Simon Wilkinson]

Hi,

I am trying to get NS-2 installed under Cygwin (on a Windows XP SP2
machine), and get the following error when I try to run "./install":

Zlib has been installed successfully.
============================================================

Tcl is not part of the ns project.  Please see
www.Scriptics.com<http://www.scriptics.com/>
to see if they have a fix for your platform.

I have installed Cygwin at C:\cygwin, and  am trying to install NS-2 at
/home/Simon/ns-allinone-2.29.  I also got the same error when I tried
installing ns-2.27-allinone.  Has anybody else had this problem, or know
what the problem is and how to fix it?

Thanks,

Simon
