After installing Fedora 10 with NS-2 two months back, the solution seems to have been faded from my mind. Totally cannot recall. Now my friend is having this error, yet I have forgotten how to solve it. Should have record all the solution here for reference last time but I have started this blog kinda late. Hope will soon find the solution and definitely will update in here this time!

Solution:

1. Extract tk-8.4.18-tkBind.patch from the downloaded patch.zip.
   
2. Put the file in ns-allinone-2.33 folder and in the same directory patch with the command: patch -p0 <>
3. Finally, compile the ns-2 again with the command: ./install

PS: For my case, I have to be the "root" so that ./install will compile my ns-2 completely.

OR

1. Extract tk-8.4-lastevent.patch from downloaded patch.zip.
2. Put the file in tk8.4.18 folder and in the same directory as the patch and type with the command: patch -p1 < ./tk-8.4-lastevent.patch
3. File to patch: generic/tk.h
   
4. Finally, compile the ns-2 again at ns-allinone-2.33 directory with the command : ./install
