To me all the "64"s seem to indicate, that you try to install ns2 on a 
64bit machine. Are you trying this?

Did you give up on your 64bit machine? I ran ns2 on SuSE 10.2 and had no 
problems. Please post a more detailed description of your system (32/64 
bit, exact version of: Suse, gcc, tcl/tk and so fourth.

Have you checked the ns2 wiki on installation help?
