Apply the following modifications to the file ns-allinone-2.34/install: (add what’s in red and in green*)
* the lines in green are, possibly, only necessary to Mac OS X 10.6 (aka Snow Leopard). With Mac OS X 10.5 (aka Leopard), the red lines should be enough.

After applying those modifications, use Terminal app to go to the ns-allinone-2.3x directory and enter ./install.
Those installation procedures were tested with Max OS X 10.6, but they should work just fine with 10.5.
STILL HAVING PROBLEMS DURING INSTALLATION?
1. If, even after applying the above modifications, your installation fails, proceed as follows:
Install first Xcode development tools. They come with Mac OS X 10.6 CD as an optional installation. After doing that, proceed as explained above.
2. Still failing? Check the following instruction:
In the configure files inside nam, ns, otcl and tclcl directories, look for xlibdirs and xincdirs and check if the following lines, respectively, can be found:
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/usr/X11R6/lib \
and
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/usr/X11R6/include \
In NS-2 version 2.34, those lines are present. You should carefully look for them when using other versions.
Anything to say about it? Drop a line in the comments!
