 I am new to mac os x system, I tried to install the NS-2 port on my
 macbook (intel-based core 2 duo 2.2 GHz, 4 GB ram, Leopard), but I got
 errors in the early stages of the installation, starting with otcl

 in/g++-3.3 " returned error 77
 Command output: No .configure file found in current directory
 Continuing with default options...
 checking build system type... i386-apple-darwin9.1.0
 checking host system type... i386-apple-darwin9.1.0
 checking target system type... i386-apple-darwin9.1.0
 checking for gcc... /usr/bin/gcc-3.3
 checking for C compiler default output file name...
 configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
 See `config.log' for more details.

 ..... I found later on that OTCL, TCLCL, and NS-2 ports use gcc-3.3 and
 gcc++-3.3 which are only compatible with powerpc processors for mac os x.
 I edited the port files and replaced the gcc-3.3 with gcc-4.0 and
 gcc++-3.3 with gcc++4.0, and the installation went through, but gave a
 warning message at the end

 I read in some sites that using gcc-4.0 could cause some problems with
 ns-2 but I hope it won't hurt much.... If there is a better way to solve
 this please let me know
