This "should" be fixed in ns-3-dev.  Please check.

Congratulations, almost perfect.

./waf configure --prefix=~/whatever

and

./waf configure --prefix=~/whatever --libdir=~/whatever/lib64

both result in:

This should not happen, looking at the code.

The ns/__init__.py problem should be fixed, though I don't have a system to test.

It doesn't, I just checked. That was an issue with waf 1.5; it seems that you fixed it during upgrade to 1.6.
