Firstly, please don't SHOUT.

Secondly, you need to install the package that provides libstdc++.so.5

Since you are running an unsupported version of Fedora you have to get the package elsewhere :
compat-libstdc++-33

There is a newer version of NS available and of course you probably wouldn't have this problem if you ran the latest Fedora.

# yum install \
libX11-devel libXext-devel libXau-devel libXmu-devel gcc-c++

You will need this new 'baseurl=' in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora..
http://archives.fedoraproject.org/pu...thing/i386/os/

And : [updates-newkey-i386]
name=Fedora-update-newkey-i386
baseurl= http://archives.fedoraproject.org/pu...8/i386.newkey/

( No libstdc++.so.5 should be required, AFAIK, unless you use a wrong compiler.
The default c++ / g++ version 4.1.2 has libstdc++.so.6.
And 4.1.2 is perfect for ns-allinone-2.32 .)

cd tk8.4.15/ ; patch -p0 < tk-8.4-lastevent.patch
.. to get a usable nam.

..
P.S. : Just did a new test compile, ns-allinone-2.32 on Fedora 8 : No errors.
(And nam compiled OK without the tk-8.4-lastevent.patch.)
