Welcome to LQ. . .. And please do not double post.
Read this : How to use LQ.
Ubuntu : Which Ubuntu ?

Forgot to install autoconf ? General for Ubuntu / ns2 :
sudo apt-get install \
libx11-dev libxmu-dev libxmu-headers libxt-dev libtool \
make automake autoconf g++

ns2 threads are tagged ns2 : LQ Search >> 'Tag Name' = ns2
........

Thanks KNUDFL for ur quick reply,

I am using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and I have very little knowledge about Linux,Unix and NS2.

I didn't understand what you have mentioned above.
Please give me some simple instructions to sort out my problem,

Thanks for your valuable time.

Please open a terminal window and type :
.. Or use 'synaptic' to install all the packages ..
( or >> Menu : Applications → Ubuntu Software Center ).
.

Dear KNUDFL

You are very help full, I got following result. What should I do now?


robbert@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install libx11-dev libxmu-dev libxmu-headers libxt-dev libtool make automake autoconf g++
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package libx11-dev
robbert@ubuntu:~$


Thanks again

Probably : sudo apt-get update

... to refresh the package lists / files : if you never did a refresh
in Synaptic or with 'sudo apt-get update', the package managing
tools / files will only know the already installed packages.
( May be the "Ubuntu Software Center" function would do that
automatically ? )

I am having the same problem installing ns-2.34 on Ubuntu !0.04, but i have tried the above suggestions and i still get the same error

NS-allinone-2.34 :
Actually, there shouldn't be any problems at all with 10.04 Lucid.
I made a new test install yesterday (ns-allinone-2.35-RC6: OK too)
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...emix-829082/#2
.... No errors.
....

can't we install ns 2.32 on ubuntu 10.4???
i tried installion it but i keep getting errors

this is the error i'm getting..
btw, sorry for posting this here.. i thought i'll post on a existing topic instead of creatin a new one in installation forum..

@ phoenix.58, welcome to LQ. .. .. ..

cd ns-allinone-2.32/otcl-1.13/ ; make clean ;
Then please edit 'Makefile.in' line 7 to : CC= gcc-4.1
( You will have to install 'gcc-4.1' ).

cd ../tk8.4.15/ ; patch -p0 < tk-8.4-lastevent.patch
( Makes 'tk' usable for nam-1.13 ).
Example post with tk-8.4-lastevent.patch attached :
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ting-818634/#4

Good luck !
..

Thank you for replying, knudfl !!
i tried patching, but that didn't work for me.

edit 'Makefile.in' line 7 to : CC= gcc-4.3
->this worked for me.
thanks a ton !!
