how to install ns2.27 on Ubuntu 9.10 64-bits version

bnkdul · 12-27-2010, 12:54 PM

Hi,

I tried to install ns2.27 on my Ubuntu 9.10 64-bits version. I downloaded the gcc-3.3...amd64.deb instead of the one you recommend. When installing the debian files, I get this at the terminal

sudo dpkg -i cpp-3.3_3.3.6-15ubuntu4_amd64.deb g++-3.3_3.3.6-15ubuntu4_amd64.deb gcc-3.3_3.3.6-15ubuntu4_amd64.deb gcc-3.3-base_3.3.6-15ubuntu4_amd64.deb libstdc++5-3.3-dev_3.3.6-15ubuntu4_amd64.deb

I don't see any errors but the file is not installed (I think) because when I go to synaptic
they are not there. And trying to proceed with the ns2 installation results in error since I don't have the gcc3.3

Welcome to LQ.

All your installs say "replace / replacement" :
Looks like the packages were already installed.

'g++-3.3' can also be installed with 'sudo apt-get install' or Synaptic ..
I.e. add Hardy to /etc/apt/sources.list ..

Code:

deb http://76.73.4.58/ubuntu/ hardy-updates main
deb http://76.73.4.58/ubuntu/ hardy universe
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-security main
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-security universe

Please try this command : ls /usr/bin/g++*
( And / or : which g++-3.3 ).

What are the errors you get, when you compile ns-2.27 ? ?

..

Thanks a lot for the warm welcome

I got this after typing the command:
/usr/bin/g++ /usr/bin/g++-3.3 /usr/bin/g++-4.3

(I have no idea what that means, but I'm assuming it means somehow g++3.3_3.3.6 is installed)

And the errors that I get when installing ns2.27 are these:

I think the error is related to the gcc. But I don't know how to fix it. Thanks again for replying.

knudfl · 12-27-2010, 03:00 PM

Yes, those are errors only occurring on a 64 Bits OS.

The example, you show from ns-allinone-2.27/ns-2.27/indep-utils/webtrace-conv/
is ucb/ , which comes with a separate Makefile.in .
Line 27 can be edited to : CC = g++-3.3

These files are actually of minor importance, as the binary 'ns' at this stage
already has been created. ( As I remember it.)

Except from ucb/, there may be a couple more directories in webtrace-conv/
with either a Makefile.in or a Makefile. Same procedure :
You can try editing CC = @CXX@ to CC = g++-3.3 , if they cause errors.

Good luck !
..

bnkdul · 12-27-2010, 04:59 PM

Thanks knudfl!

in ../ns2.27 I typed the following command "find -iname Makefile.in"

Then, you get the following directories:

./indep-utils/webtrace-conv/ucb/Makefile.in
./indep-utils/webtrace-conv/dec/Makefile.in
./indep-utils/webtrace-conv/epa/Makefile.in
./indep-utils/webtrace-conv/nlanr/Makefile.in
./indep-utils/cmu-scen-gen/setdest/Makefile.in
./Makefile.in

I manually modified each Makefile.in changing line #27 CC = @CXX@ to CC = gcc-3.3. I know you said g++-3.3 but I got confused since in your thread you said gcc-3.3. Makefile is automatically modified when you change Makefile.in, so no need to edit it.

Anyway, there is an improvement in the errors. I'm only getting this now:

I will proceed with the installation of MIT LEACH and see how it goes and update you. I only reply so soon because I noticed the number of views of this thread got so high in just three hours, so I'm guessing there are quite a few ppl out there in my situation.

knudfl · 12-28-2010, 03:04 AM

CC = @CXX@ , i.e. CXX means c++.

indep-utils/webtrace-conv/ucb/ : CXX = g++-3.3

The others are less important, will usually compile with the default gcc, g++.
indep-utils/webtrace-conv/dosdbell/ : CC = gcc-3.3
indep-utils/webtrace-conv/dec/ : CC = g++-3.3
indep-utils/webtrace-conv/epa/ : CC = g++-3.3
indep-utils/webtrace-conv/nlanr/ : CC = g++-3.3
indep-utils/cmu-scen-gen/setdest/ : CC = gcc-3.3 , CCX = g++
When you have file.c : gcc. When it's files.cc : g++ for c++ files.
( *.c is c code. *.cc (or *.cpp) is c++ code.)

I actually compiled a clean old ns-allinone-2.27 on Fedora 14 - 32,
while I wrote post # 4. No files from ns-allinone-2.34 was used.
The patch ns-2.27-gcc410.patch was included : (Works for gcc-3.4.6...gcc-4.1.0).
http://cfs3.tistory.com/upload_contr...7-gcc410.patch
And no editing of any Makefile.in, just : export CC=g++34 CXX=g++34 && ./install
And, validate : "validate overall report: all tests passed"

( But this simple method will usually not work on Ubuntu.)

to eliminate the error of
./../../autoconf.h:85: error: namespace `CPP_NAMESPACE' undeclared
make[1]: *** [proxytrace.o] Error 1.

In autoconfig.h.in replace line #84 "using namespace CPP_NAMESPACE"; to "using namespace std" and ns2 will compile with no errors at all.

I will address leach installation in my next post because now I'm having some minor errors

bnkdul · 12-29-2010, 11:24 AM

This post is for anyone trying to install leach. The process is just the usual one. I hope this helps somehow.

For the installation of leach obtain the mit.tar.gz package at

http://www.internetworkflow.com/down...ach/mit.tar.gz

Step 1: Place the mit.tar.gz package into the ns-allione-2.27/ns-2.27 directory and type the following commands in the terminal cd ns-allione-2.27/ns-2.27

gunzip mit.tar.gz
tar -xvf mit.tar

Step 2: Edit the file in ns-allione2.27/ns-2.27/Makefile.in

Add –DMIT_uAMPS to the DEFINE list
Add -I./mit/rca –I./mit/uAMPS to the INCLUDE list

Add the following just prior to the line that says gaf/gaf.o \
mit/rca/energy.o mit/rca/rcagent.o \
mit/rca/rca-ll.o mit/rca/resource.o \
mac/mac-sensor-timers.o mac/mac-sensor.o mit/uAMPS/bsagent.o \

Edi the file in ns-allione-2.27/ns-2.27/mit/uAMPS/sims/uamps.tcl
Replace lines #12 to 15 with these lines:

source mit/rca/ns-ranode.tcl
source mit/uAMPS/ns-bsapp.tcl
source mit/uAMPS/extras.tcl
source mit/uAMPS/stats.tcl

Replace lines #20 to 22 with these lines:
source mit/rca/resources/ns-resource-manager.tcl
source mit/rca/resources/ns-energy-resource.tcl
source mit/rca/resources/ns-neighbor-resource.tcl

Follow the same logic of replacing $env(RCA_LIBRARY) and $env(uAMPS_LIBRARY) with mit/rca and mit/uAMPS correspondingly in the following files: ns-allione-2.27/ns-2.27/mit/uAMPS/sims/leach.tcl ns-allione-2.27/ns-2.27/mit/uAMPS/sims/leach-c.tcl

Step 3: cd ns-allione-2.27/ns-2.27/

./configure
make clean
make
./validate
./leach-test

Check in ns-allione-2.27/ns-2.27/mit/leach_sims/leach.err if the file reports any errors

Check the simulation outputs in ns-allione-2.27/ns-2.27/mit/leach_sims/leach.out

GOOD LUCK!

Hi everyone...
I[m following the bnkdul tutorial to install leach and ns-2.27 but I got an error.
I[m using gcc and g++ version 3.3.6, when I run the make command, i[m getting:

Code:

g++-3.3.6: cannot specify -o with -c or -S and multiple compilations
make: *** [tools/random.o] Error 1

how do I solve it?
