hi everyone,

I am new to ns2 , i have ns2.35 in my ubuntu 12.04 , i'd like to add more ns2 packages like ns2.27,2.28,2.33,2.34

i tried to install ns-2.33 along with ns-2.35 but it occurs more errors.
primarily i'd like to install ns-2.33 now ,

so anyone help me to solve this problem

and also how can i switch to one ns pack from other ns pack while execution


Thanks in Advance

Hi,

how did you try to install it? What errors occurred?

Evo2.

ya Me.evo

i got erro like Ns make failed,... i already installed ns-23.5 now i am trying to install ns-2.33

when i type gedit ~/.bashrc it is poening file , but when i command


source ~/.bashrc , it is showing

bash: /bin: Is a directory

i used to add and delete LD PATH more times but i did not get message like this before


Kindly support me to clear this issue

Hi,

sorry, I don't understand what you are trying to say. Please use full words, and when reporting what you did and the errors that result, report *exactly* what was in your terminal Eg cut and paste into [code] blocks.

Evo2.

for installation of ns-2.33

i followed these steps :

step 1.$ sudo apt-get install gcc-4.4 g++-4.4

step 2: sudo apt-get install libxt-dev libx11-dev libxmu-dev xorg-dev xgraph

step 3:cd /home/abdusy/ns-allinone-2.34

// on below steps i made some changes in some files
STEP 4: ~$ gedit /home/abdusy/ns-allinone-2.34/otcl-1.13/configure
Linux*)
SHLIB_CFLAGS=”-fpic”
#SHLIB_LD=”ld -shared” //disabled this line
SHLIB_LD=”gcc -shared” // add this line
SHLIB_SUFFIX=”.so”
DL_LIBS=”-ldl”
SHLD_FLAGS=””
;;

The next file you need to modified is ns-2.34/tools/ranvar.cc and change the line 219.

STEP 5 : ~$ gedit /home/abdusy/ns-allinone-2.34/ns-2.34/tools/ranvar.cc
SOLVED:
double GammaRandomVariable::value()
{
// Proposed by Marsaglia in 2000:
// G. Marsaglia, W. W. Tsang: A simple method for gereating Gamma variables
// ACM Transactions on mathematical software, Vol. 26, No. 3, Sept. 2000
if (alpha_ < 1) {
double u = rng_->uniform(1.0);
//return GammaRandomVariable::GammaRandomVariable(1.0 + alpha_, beta_).value() * pow (u, 1.0 / alpha_); /* Disabled*/
return GammaRandomVariable(1.0 + alpha_, beta_).value() * pow (u, 1.0 / alpha_); /*add this line*/
}

Next step is change the lines 183 and 185 in file ns-2.34/mobile/nakagami.cc.

STEP 6 : ~$ gedit /home/abdusy/ns-allinone-2.34/ns-2.34/mobile/nakagami.cc
SOLVED:
if (int_m == m) {
//resultPower = ErlangRandomVariable::ErlangRandomVariable(Pr/m, int_m).value();
resultPower = ErlangRandomVariable(Pr/m, int_m).value();
} else {
//resultPower = GammaRandomVariable::GammaRandomVariable(m, Pr/m).value();
resultPower = GammaRandomVariable(m, Pr/m).value();
}

The next step is to edit line 270 in tcl8.4.18/unix/Makefile.in.

STEP 7 : ~$ gedit /home/abdusy/ns-allinone-2.34/tcl8.4.18/Makefile.in
SOLVED:
#CC = @CC@
CC = @CC@-4.4

To used gcc-4.4 and g++-4.4 as compiler to compile ns-allinone-2.34, change the line 36-37 in ns-2.34/Makefile.in.

STEP 8 : ~$ gedit /home/abdusy/ns-allinone-2.34/ns-2.34/Makefile.in
SOLVED:
#CC = @CC@
#CPP = @CXX@
CC = @CC@-4.4
CPP = @CXX@-4.4

Also change the line 36-37 in ns-2.34/Makefile

STEP 9 : ~$ gedit /home/abdusy/ns-allinone-2.34/ns-2.34/Makefile
SOLVED:
#CC = gcc
#CPP = g++
CC = gcc-4.4
CPP = g++-4.4

Final Step: cd na-allinone-2.33/ ./install

Error: Ns make failed,....

But one notable thing was after gone through these procedures i was not able to execute ns files in prev ns-2.35,

shown like ns not installed ,

again now i successfully installed ns-2.35

Hi,

that's a somewhat convoluted procedure. I'm afraid it will be difficult to understand what is going on.

Why are you following this procedure? Why can't you just do
Also, why do you want so many versions of ns installed?

Evo2.

Error message on terminal is:

i need it to be installed because i am getting patch files of various protocols each in different ns-versions ,

i followed the procedure from link below:

http://abdusyarif.wordpress.com/2012...ntu-12-04-lts/

most of the people suggested is to modify makefile.in,packet.h, and someother files,

so only i gone through that complicated procedure,

i installed ns-2.35 multiple times in my computer by simple commands as like you said in post #6 , that too i tried for ns-2.34 not worked,...

Hi,

sorry, can't help if I don't understand what you are trying to do and why. That is why I asked questions. After that we can try to address specific problems you are having.

Evo2.

Ok Thanks,,....

i ll try,..

New problem i am facing in ubuntu [Apart from abovesaid problem]

When i open a terminal in ubuntu 12.04 Lts i am getting 1st line like

bash: /bin: Is a directory
chase@chase-desktop:~$



when i command source ~/.bashrc

i am getting like: bash: /bin Is a directory,

WHY IT IS COMING LIKE THIS,SOMEONE HELP ME,

Before that i worked on terminals and edited bashrc so many times , but i did not get those messages

Hi,

post #4 seems to indicate that you have edited your ~/.bashrc in doing so you may have broken your environment. You can return it to its original state by recopying it from /etc/skel. For example

Did you edit any other files in your home directory?

Evo2.

PS. Please don't yell at us.

Could you please come to thread on below link, there i attached screen shot of my terminal in post#1
because in this thread i am not able to attach screenshot i dont know why ,


sorry for your inconvenience , Thanks for your patience.
