Welcome to LQ.

The executable 'ns' is hard coded to know the location of it´s libraries.
Like /home/abcdef/ns-allinone-2.35/{ lib/, bin/ },
... which also means you cannot move ns-allinone-2.35/ to a new location.

If the problem is that you have two version of ns2 :
Both ns-allinone-2.34/ and ns-allinone-2.35/ are listed in post #1.
Then you will have to decide which one should keep the name 'ns'.

Example install :
1) ns-allinone-2.35
$ cd ns-allinone-2.35/ns-2.35/
$ sudo make install
( 'make install' will copy 'ns' to /usr/local/bin/.)

2) ns-allinone-2.34
$ cd ns-allinone-2.34/ns-2.34/
$ cp ns ns234
$ sudo cp ns234 /usr/local/bin/
* All simulations can be done with $ ns234 file.tcl

* Important : Delete any entry you may have done to .bashrc .
( The old year ~1999 text about adding a *PATH text to .bashrc :
Was meant only for a "University Computer",
where you had no write access to /usr/.)

a take it you are NOT aware that fedora 11 is TEN ( 10 ) versions out of date
and has been UNSUPPORTED since it went END OF LIFE on "2010-06-25"

it is missing the last 4.5 YEARS!!!!! of updates

#### DO NOT USE !!!!!! ####

the software repos were MOVED to the historical archives
yum WILL NOT be able to install anything
there are NO active repos for it any longer
