ns installation wont let me do it on ubuntu 9.10

foottuns · 11-02-2009, 06:09 AM

Helllo there, I don't know if here is the place but I am trying to configure ns on my system, I saw a few tutorials which they were interested and good, but all the time when I try to compile the ns source I get this error and I don't know what should I do to fix it.

Error

Welcome to LQ.

I guess, you already have all the requirements :
libx11-dev , libxmu-dev , libxmu-headers , libxt-dev , libtool

The problem can be the gcc-4.4.1 / g++-4.4.1 compilers.
But I am not sure , gcc-4.4.0 / g++-4.4.0 works fine on
Fedora 11 with ns-allinone-2.34 .
But please try this : sudo apt-get install g++-4.3

.. and ' CC=gcc-4.3 CXX=g++-4.3 ./install '

I have not yet installed Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic, may be later today.
( The Swedish Ubuntu download link works at max. speed.)
And I will then test compile ns-allinone-2.34 .

Sorry, my mistake. The correct order seems to be
' CC=gcc-4.3 CXX=g++-4.3 ./install '

And, by the way, there are no c++ code in otcl,
so the 'CC=gcc-4.3 ./install' alone will probably do.

But as only ' otcl ' dislikes gcc-4.4.1, I will choose
this solution : Edit ' otcl-1.13/Makefile.in ', line 7

Code:

From :
CC=       @CC@

to :
CC=       gcc-4.3

... And ns-allinone-2.34 compiles on Ubuntu 9.10 with no errors.
I will attach the result of ' ./validate ' here when it has
finished.

Ok, mate I will do it in half an hour, thanks for your time and I will come back and tell you everything what happen.........

Thanks again......

I recommend this :

Ubuntu : sudo apt-get install tcl8.4 tk8.4

cd ns-allinone-2.34/otcl-1.13/ &&
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-release --enable-devel
&& make && sudo make install
cd ../tclcl-1.19/ &&
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-release --enable-devel
&& make && sudo make install
cd ../ns-2.34/
sudo make install
cd ../nam-1.14/
sudo make install
cd /usr/local/bin/
sudo strip *
.. And thus avoid setting any new path's to run ns and nam.
.. The install only copies 18 files to /usr/local/
.. Ubuntu910 has tcl8.4.19 / tk8.4.19 as default.
.. So you can immediately run e.g. ' ns example1.tcl '
.....

.....
Good luck!
.....
P.S. : please see some seven ' examples.tcl ' attached here :
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...993/page2.html
Not all will work .. may be you can edit them to do so ?
Or may be tcl / tk 8.4.19 isn't 100% compatibel with the
8.4.18 compiled ns-allinone files ?
.....
.....
P.S. _ P.S. : validate overall report : all tests passed.
.....

Cluster : New topic ... may be you should start a new thread.

And get answers from LQ members working with clusters.
