Same issue with same machine, I've tried many things, nothing seems to work.

Please update if you've found a solution by now.

Thanks.

The cause of this error may be the version of QT development libraries installed in your machine. Try to upgrade or downgrade them (after knowing about the ns3/NetAninim installation requirements of the version of ns-allinone-3.xx  that you are trying to install)

In the following procedure, you may see a chroot jail based installation of ns2.35 and NetAnim.

(Procedure for Installing ns3.35 and NetAnim in Debian 10 chroot Jail Under Debian 11 Host OS or any version of Linux Host)

If the cause of the error that you are facing is due to some library or package conflict under your present version of linux host, then you may do a successful installation by creating a  chroot jail of any linux version of your choice under this unique way of Virtualization.

Thanks Charles.

This worked for me:

$ brew install qt@5

If you need to have qt@5 first in your PATH, run:
 $ echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/qt@5/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc

For compilers to find qt@5 you may need to set:
 $ export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/qt@5/lib"
 $ export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/qt@5/include"

Inside the netanim directory:

$ make clean

$ qmake NetAnim.pro

$ make

$./NetAnim

Thank you for confirming it as a QT version related error.
The things that you shared will be useful for others those who are facing the same issue.

Charles Pandian.
