NS2 and Aquasim

Preeti1910 · 03-01-2012, 09:58 PM

Hi
I am working on a project based on underwater environment. I have Ubuntu 11.4 installed. Also I have installed NS2-2.34. I want to install aquasim for simulation purposes. Can anyone please guide me about the installation procedures and give me some links of the tutorials.

Thanks

Welcome to LQ.

Some hints about Aquasim in these two threads ..
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...quasim-855532/

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...otocol-890215/

Aquasim is for ns-2.30 :
You can have more than one version of ns-allinone-2.xx installed.
Except that Ubuntu 11.xx (12.xx?) is worst choice for special software.
g++41-compat-4.1.2_i386.deb, gcc41-compat-4.1.2_i386.deb may work :
export CC=gcc41 CXX=g++41 && ./install

Hi Knudfl,

I followed your instructions in this thread and also the links to the previous threads you provided.
Got the following results.
Please help.

Platform: Ubuntu 11.04
NS2.34 already installed.
As you said, it supports more than one version of NS. So, now installing NS-allinone-2.30 and Aqua-sim for NS-2.30.

Hi knudlf

Thanks for the reply but the commands that you mentioned are not running. They give an error "Command not found". Can you please elaborate or suggest a differnt way.

Hi Satyaveer
I have tried this link before but coul'nt decipher the following:
"essential libs for the installation of ns-allinone-2.30. Usually, it requires gcc/g++
complier, automake, X11 lib. To make Aqua3D works, some other packages, such as
freeglut, GTK+ 2.0 and wxGTK-2.8.11, are also required ."

How can i install the above said?
also when i try without above sets, it gives some gcc not found error.
Please help

knudfl · 03-02-2012, 11:54 AM

Generally for all ns2, all Ubuntu :
sudo apt-get install g++ make autoconf automake libtool libxmu-dev

Ubuntu 11.04 : ( Read post #2 )
sudo dpkg -i gcc41-compat-4.1.2_i386.deb g++41-compat-4.1.2_i386.deb
gcc41-compat https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B7S...RjNjJhOTZjNjI2
g++41-compat https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B7S...hjMjljN2M2MGU4

gtk+2 : always installed by default.
wxGTK-2.8.11 and freeglut :
sudo apt-get install libwxgtk2.8-dev freeglut3-dev

And please read this other thread about Ubuntu 11.04 (11.10)
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...1-04-a-921068/
"No old Ubuntu compilers .. will work in Ubuntu 11.04 and 11.10"
( And none of the defult g++ 4.4 , 4.5 , 4.6 will work with ns-2.30 ).

hi Kundfl,

Thanks for your reply.
commands that you told, worked.

when I gave the command ./install
it gave this result
1.

and

So, made changes in the file otcl-1.12/makefile.in
CC= gcc-4.2
and added SHLIB_LD="gcc -shared" to otcl-1.12/configure

it gave following results.

#7, @emmashi : Please read posts #2 and #6 :
You will have to download and install the compilers.
( Ubuntu 11.04 : It's not gcc-4.2, but gcc41 ( and g++41 ).

sudo dpkg -i gcc41-compat-4.1.3_i386.deb g++41-compat-4.1.2_i386.deb
.. Then reboot, and the new compilers can be used.

And :
cd ns-allinone-2.30/ && export CC=gcc41 CXX=g++41 && ./install

.

this command is not working.
I have downloaded it from the link you provided.
Also, i tried the installation from synaptic manager. but it didn't work.

It gives the following error.

I don't know what to do now. Please help.

#9.

The first command is 'pwd', if you don't know your location.
Most terminals will open in /home/<name>/.
Some in /home/<name>/Documents/.
Depending on your settings in /home/<name>/.config/user-dirs.dirs

Then change to the directory with files to be installed.
Like : cd Downloads/ ; sudo dpkg -i <package> <package>

.

emmashi · 03-05-2012, 10:01 AM

thank you so much knudfl, it worked.

but some important notices were given at the end to change some path variables, I did that.
next it asked to run command
cd ns-2.30
and then ./validate

but command ./validate did not work.

what should I do next? Need help again.

Notice that some tests in webcache will fail on freebsd when -O is turned on.
This is due to some event reordering, which will disappear when -g is turned on.

Aquasim, ns-2.30 ..

Using the Fedora / CentOS compiler, compat-gcc-34-c++-3.4.6-4,
on PCLinuxOS-2011 the result is :

Code:

validate overall report: some tests failed:
     ./test-all-wireless-shadowing ./test-all-WLtutorial

A similar result would probably be achieved with Mandriva, CentOS, Fedora, Scientific.

Ubuntu 11.04 and 11.10 : Not the best choice for ns2.
? May be Ubuntu 10.04 will make a better result ? ?

.

emmashi · 03-06-2012, 09:08 AM

thanks kundfl.
i'll try it with Ubuntu 10.04
