Do you have a special need for using those really outdated
versions of NS-2 and Tcl?
Current releases can be found here:

I assume that "associated with tcl" means that what you are
showing is the complaint of Tcl's 'configure' script.
The (or just one?) problem seems to be that Tcl's
'configure' script thinks that you are cross-compiling,
which seems to be wrong (you would have mentioned that, right?).
You mention the 'install' script - I guess that is ns2's? It
does not seem to be doing the right thing for Tcl. At first
sight, this is a bug in the install script.
Maybe you could try first installing Tcl on its own, and
only then installing ns2 - maybe it will use the previously
installed Tcl?
