NS-23.5 is released this month and here are the simple instructions to install.
Ubuntu 11.10
1. Install ubuntu
2. Download the Ns-2.35 from this website http://isi.edu/nsnam/ns/
3. Assuming that your ns-2.35 source is in the /home/loginname/ , execute the commands one by one
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install automake autoconf libxmu-dev build-essential
tar zxvf ns-allinone-2.35.tar.gz
cd ns-allinone-2.35
./install
4. Once the process is over, it will give the set of paths to be set.
5. Go to terminal and open .bashrc by giving this command
gedit .bashrc
and copy the following lines ( my login name for linux is pradeep, you can change yours accordingly)
export PATH=$PATH:/home/pradeep/ns-allinone-2.35/bin:/home/pradeep/ns-allinone-2.35/tcl8.5.10/unix:/home/pradeep/ns-allinone-2.35/tk8.5.10/unix
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/pradeep/ns-allinone-2.35/otcl-1.14:/home/pradeep/ns-allinone-2.35/lib
6. run the command "source .bashrc" (without quotes)
and then type ns (a % symbol indicates the successful installation of ns2) or nam (you can see a network animation windows popped out)
Fedora 16
1. Download the DVD Version (http://www.fedoraproject.org) and Install all the pacakges (if you are not sure about what to be installed)
2. Download the Ns-2.35 from this website http://isi.edu/nsnam/ns/
3. Assuming that your ns-2.35 source is in the /home/loginname/ , execute the commands one by one
tar zxvf ns-allinone-2.35.tar.gz
cd ns-allinone-2.35
./install
4. Once the process is over, it will give the set of paths to be set.
5. Go to terminal and open .bash_profile by giving this command
gedit .bash_profile
and copy the following lines ( my login name for linux is pradeep, you can change yours accordingly)
and already a PATH was already defined and put a : at the end of the existing PATH and copy these lines
/home/pradeep/ns-allinone-2.35/bin:/home/pradeep/ns-allinone-2.35/tcl8.5.10/unix:/home/pradeep/ns-allinone-2.35/tk8.5.10/unix
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/pradeep/ns-allinone-2.35/otcl-1.14:/home/pradeep/ns-allinone-2.35/lib
6. run the command "source .bash_profile" (without quotes)
and then type ns (a % symbol indicates the successful installation of ns2) or nam (you can see a network animation windows popped out)

I got an important post regarding the error mentioned, it may be helpful, pls go through the url: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/how-to-solve-%5Bversion-conflict-for-package-tcl-%5D-908362/
i want to know that can we use 802.11e in ns-2.35?
If yes, then from where i get the files for it?
If no, then on which NS2 we can simulate 802.11e?
I got nam executed only for the first time after the ns2 installation.
But then I closed the terminal and again when I give "nam" ,the following appears.
Can't find a usable tk.tcl in the following directories:

This probably means that tk wasn't installed properly.
child process exited abnormally

Could some please tell me the solution
~Desktop/ns-allinone-2.35$ nam
nam:
[code omitted because of length]
: version conflict for package "Tcl": have 8.5.10, need exactly 8.4
while executing
"package require -exact Tcl 8.4"
can you please tell me what might be the problem, on Ubuntu 11.04 with ns2.35, ns command does give the "%" symbol but nam does not give the graphical window
