Tom, I decided to try out your first suggestion. I built in the order recommended. The problems associated with individual build was that the configure file had the wrong version numbers for the different units. On fixing that and building, I have successfully built tcl, tk, otcl and tclcl.

For ns-2, I think I am getting into the intricacies of 64-bit code. I looked at your patch and do not see anything with respect to ns-2 code. Is there any future version of ns-2 that you are aware of, which compiles on a 64-bit machine? Then, maybe I can see what changes have been made and try to duplicate them for ns-2.27. Thanks a lot for your help.
