This is taken from http://www.anand-iyer.com/blog/?p=22 (thanks). The steps are.

1. Install necessary tools for building:

sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libxmu-dev gcc-4.3

2. It turns out that otcl does not like the version of gcc installed by default in Lucid. So go ahead and change ns-allinone-2.34/otcl-1.13/Makefile.in. Find the line that says:

CC=    @CC@

and change it to:

CC=    gcc-4.3

3. Now try doing ‘./install’ from the ns-allinone-2.34 directory. It should work.

Then I added the following in command line

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<YOUR_NS_PATH>/ns-allinone-2.34/otcl-1.13:<YOUR_NS_PATH>/ns-allinone-2.34/lib
export TCL_LIBRARY=<YOUR_NS_PATH>/ns-allinone-2.34/tcl8.4.18/library
export PATH=$PATH:<YOUR_NS_PATH>/ns-allinone-2.34/bin:<YOUR_NS_PATH>/ns-allinone-2.34/tcl8.4.18/unix:<YOUR_NS_PATH>/ns-allinone-2.34/tk8.4.18/unix

if you want these paths be permanent you must do something in the bashrc file.
