I am a final year engineering student and I am trying to install
ns-allinone-2.33 but I encounter this problem:
make: *** No rule to make target `VERSION', needed by `gen/version.c'.
Stop.
Ns make failed!
Can anyone help me clarify this problem?
You will have to clarify the problem...we can only help you solve it.
What part of the installation are you getting this error in? What version/distro of Linux? What have you done to get to that point, where the error occurs?
Distribution: PCLinuxOS2023 Fedora38 + 50+ other Linux OS, for test only.

Rep:
ns-allinone-2.33 will compile on a clean install of Fedora 10
with no errors. ( Usually.)
You will see that some of the 8 applications in ns-allinone
have VERSION files. If one is missing, or asked for in
another location, just create a VERSION text file.

Hi,
I've faced the same problem with building ns-2.27. Did you find the solution?!
Thanks,
Please don't reopen old threads...this thread is TWO YEARS OLD. And did you read the responses to the original post? You are not providing details...things like version/distro of Linux, what you've done/tried, what error(s) you're getting, etc.
You may want to try a newer version of NS, since it's come a long way in two years.
