Tom, Following your suggestion, I have successfully compiled ns-2.27 on a 64-bit machine. I built ns-allinone-2.31 completely. Then I replaced ns-2.31 directory with ns-2.27, fixed minor problems and built it successfully. Now I am able to run my tcl scripts in a 64-bit environment. Thanks a lot for your help. Regards, Sita
