I've been trying to install ns-2.34 on ubuntu 10.10 so many times , each time I got an error in the installation, now I got this error :

trace/cmu-trace.o: In function `hdr_ant_pkt::access(Packet const*)':
cmu-trace.cc:(.text._ZN11hdr_ant_pkt6accessEPK6Packet[hdr_ant_pkt::access(Packet const*)]+0x7): undefined reference to `hdr_ant_pkt::offset_'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [ns] Erreur 1
Ns make failed!

could anybody help me please !!
thanks for the help.

Welcome to LQ.

sudo apt-get install \
libx11-dev libxmu-dev libxmu-headers libxt-dev libtool

cd ns-allinone-2.34/ && ./install : No errors. ( -x86_64, amd64.)


Known issues : Nam may fail ..
Solution : cd ns-allinone-2.34/tk8.4.18 &&
patch -p0 < tk-8.4-lastevent.patch
... and then do './install' again.
...

not working !!! :(
I got :

patching file generic/tk.h
Hunk #1 FAILED at 635.
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file generic/tk.h.rej

The 'messages / information' output from patch are not errors.
They are informing you, that one of several lines do not require editing.

You can just continue ...

And by the way, nam is not that important :
Any binary nam can be used.
..

Suggest : Read some of the other ns2 threads for more information.
LQ Search , keyword = ns2
..

I am still having the same error :

trace/cmu-trace.o: In function `hdr_ant_pkt::access(Packet const*)':
cmu-trace.cc:(.text._ZN11hdr_ant_pkt6accessEPK6Packet[hdr_ant_pkt::access(Packet const*)]+0x7): undefined reference to `hdr_ant_pkt::offset_'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [ns] Erreur 1
Ns make failed!

I checked the synaptic installed packages , I find out that the tck and tk installed version are 8.4.16
can this cause this problem ? and how to solve it ?

Thanks !

Haven't noticed any problems with an installed tcl/tk lately,
when building ns2, but may be none was installed. ..

I used to give the advise :
Remove all tcl / tk before building ns-allinone-2.xx :

'sudo apt-get remove tcl8.4'

Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick has tcl8.4 / tk8.4 version 8.4.19 !

" 8.4.16 " is the old 'Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy' version.
You can still use that after the ns-allinone has been built,
if it is required for other applications. Else: use the default 8.4.19.

Version 8.4.16 will usually also work OK with ns2, I think.
..

I think a better solution for beginners is to install ns2 using PPA. It will automatically solve all the dependecy problems. Hope the following link help you:

@ jestinjoy, post # 7. Thank you.

The referred HOWTO is for Ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10 ?
http://opensourcetips.org/linux/ubun...n-6-easy-steps
Comments to the link : The package "ns" is not available any more.
'sudo apt-get install ns2' will provide /usr/bin/ns from ns-2.35~RC6.


( ns-2.35-RC6.tar.gz http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/dist/release/ )

I successfully installed ns in both Debian Lenny and Ubuntu 10.04 from this PPA. It didint showed any dependency issues. In my Debian it reads version as "2.33-0ubuntu1" . Are you telling that any problem doing this.

thanks a lot for your help !
now NS2 is working ))

Some further explanations ..

Ubuntu 10.04 + all older versions starting with Hardy 8.04, i386, 32bit :
sudo apt-get install ns : Will provide ns version ns-2.33 from "ppa".

Ubuntu 10.04 amd64 : No packages. Probably valid for older versions too.
https://launchpad.net/~wouterh/+arch...s_filter=lucid

No ppa repo is required for Ubuntu 10.10 !
It's all included in the universe repo
http://packages.ubuntu.com/en/maverick/ns2 | i386 | amd64.
Hence 'sudo apt-get install ns2'.

#9 QUOTE : .. It didn't show any dependency issues
Comment : I don't think there are any known dependency issues with ns2 :
NS2 is very well documented here at LQ.

can you tell me your resolution.I meet the same error with you.

hi
i've been trying to add a new potocol in ns2-35
when i typing make in ns an error accur

trace/cmu-trace.o : In function `hdr_mcv::access(Packet const*)':

could anybody help me please
thanks for the help.

Post #13, @narges62.

Looks like you are using the wrong compiler (g++).
`ns-allinone-2.35' requires gcc/g++ version 4.4*.
Old protocols will often require g++ version 4.1.2 or 3.4.6 .

Which protocol is it about ? A link to some information, please.
Which OS are you using ? Please show the output from :
a) $ uname -m <Enter>
b) $ cat /etc/*release* <Enter>
