I've been off-list for a while, but if you are still having problems, I
have attached my complete installation gotchas of 2.33 on Fedora.  
Should work for RHEL.  My issues were a too new Tk/Tcl for the OTcl I
had.  The ns-2.33 itself went in without a hitch once I got the rest set up.

There's been a few "how do I install on linux" posts lately, so I'll
copy to the list - but it may drop the attachment.

Note this is on Fedora 9 (it started on 7 but switched to 9 with the
same commands), but originates from the numerous on-line war stories,
including the ISI doco, and should be very similar on other unix-like
systems.  I use yum and rpm, but should be similar to using apt-get, etc.

I do occasionally read the list, but I'm writing-up so email currently
has a "many-days-to-weeks" turnaround for me.

Hope this helps.
(and yes, while you are reading this, Fedora 11 is already in alpha)

Yes sorry the list removed the attachment.  Anyone who is interested can
grab it from http://antacs.com/ns-2/DavidRossAppendixA.pdf
Make sure you read A.1.3 (what went wrong) before you start blindly
following what I did.
