@ NewStar, post # 15.
Redhat EL 5 is not usable without a Redhat subscription.
Redhat EL 5 is commercial : You will have to pay to get packages.



Don't want to pay ?
Install one of the identical free versions instead :

1) CentOS 5.5 http://www.centos.org/
ISOs http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/isos/

Or 2) Scientific Linux SL55 https://www.scientificlinux.org/
ISOs https://www.scientificlinux.org/download/

Hi,

I am following these steps to install ns2.28 in fedora 10. However when it reaches to : cd ../tk8.4.18/
i get this message:
bash : cd: tk8.4.18/: No Such file or directory

Thanks a lot for your help.

# 17. Well, either you have no tk8.4.18/ .
Or you are in the wrong location.
Suggest : Use the 'ls' command to tell, what you have.
And the 'pwd' command to tell, where you are.
The two period ( .. ) means you go one level up.

Other comments ..
Start with the ns228-gcc40.patch, outside ns-allinone-2.28/ :
'patch -p0 < ns228-gcc40.patch'
( Hit <Enter> twice until it exits.)

And move the patch tk-8.4-lastevent.patch into tk8.4.18/

The file list in ns-allinone-2.28/ should be :
back-nam-1.11
back-otcl-1.9
back-tcl8.4.5
back-tclcl-1.16
back-tk8.4.5
cweb
gt-itm
include
install
INSTALL.WIN32
nam-1.11 -> nam-1.14/
nam-1.14 -> ../ns-allinone-2.34/nam-1.14/
ns-2.28
otcl-1.13 -> ../ns-allinone-2.34/otcl-1.13/
otcl-1.9 -> otcl-1.13/
README
sgb
tcl8.4.18 -> ../ns-allinone-2.34/tcl8.4.18/
tcl8.4.5 -> tcl8.4.18/
tclcl-1.16 -> tclcl-1.19/
tclcl-1.19 -> ../ns-allinone-2.34/tclcl-1.19/
tk8.4.18 -> ../ns-allinone-2.34/tk8.4.18/
tk8.4.5 -> tk8.4.18/
xgraph-12.1
zlib-1.1.4
..

I will show the result of './validate' in post #14 later.

I did not add any of ns2.34 files. do i need to replace any files from v2.34 to folder ns2.28? one more thing, I have added SIP patch. just to let you know.

i am very thankful to you.

One more thing might be related .. yum install compat-gcc-34-c++ could not be installed.

i get this when i tried to install it:

No commands should be done as root !
Will make it difficult to use ns228.

Hi, Knudfl
Thank you for your continuing helpful comments.. I have installed ns-allinone-2.28 beside ns-34 on fedora 10.. ns-2.28 is working well, but the nam doesn't work.
$ nam
bash: nam: command not found
-----Also

$ ns simple.tcl
210
0.0037499999999999999
running nam...
ns: finish: couldn't execute "nam": no such file or directory
while executing
"exec nam out.nam &"
(procedure "finish" line 8)
invoked from within
"finish"

could you plz tell me what's the problem here..
Many thanks

Post # 22, @ altamimi : Welcome to LQ.

Any 'nam' can be used ( It is a separate application )
cd ns-allinone-2.34/nam-1.14/
su
make install
Which will copy one file = 'nam' to /usr/local/bin/
Then you will have nam in your path.

..

Hi Knudfl,

I have installed ns-allinone-2.28 on fedora 11... i also have the problem with NAM like post #22.
I tried to fix this error with your advice in post #23 but it had the error like this:

[nhk@localhost nam-1.14]$ make install
/usr/bin/install -c -m 755 nam /usr/local/bin
/usr/bin/install: cannot stat `nam': No such file or directory
make: *** [install] Error 1

Please help me to fix this error.
Thank you so much!

@astroboy123, post # 24 : Any 'nam' can be used.
If you want a nam "from ns-allinone-2.28" :
Edit the ns-allinone-2.28/nam-1.11/Makefile, lines 44-45 to
CC = gcc34
CPP = g++34
... And : cd ns-allinone-2.28/nam-1.11/ && make clean && make

Or use "another binary nam" for /usr/local/bin/ :
32bits https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B7S25...Piyxo&hl=en_US
64bits https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B7S25...jzIcL&hl=en_US

..

Thank you for your help,Knudfl!!!

But now i have another error:

/home/nhk/ns-allinone-2.28/tclcl-1.16/tclcl-config.h:37:1: warning: this is the location of the previous definition
make: *** No rule to make target `VERSION', needed by `gen/version.c'. Stop.
Ns make failed!
See http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/ns-problems.html for problems.

I thinh i have to create the file "version.c" in /tclcl-1.16/gen but i don't know the code for this file....

Can you help me once more time?

Thank you.

Post # 25 :
The text in "gen/version.c" asks for a file by name VERSION.
( ns-allinone-2.28/ns-2.28/VERSION , ns-allinone-2.28/nam-1.11/VERSION ).

Two file examples "VERSION" are attached to post # 23 here ..
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...612/page2.html

..

Everything is ok right now, thank you Knudfl!!!

I am using Centos 5.5

@kshitiz, post #29.
Easier to manage, when you have the files in your /home/<name>/.

Fedora / CentOS 5.x :
cd /home/kshitiz/tmp/ && tar xvf ns-allinone-2.28.tar.gz &&
patch -p0 < ns228-gcc40.patch ( See post #11 )
&& cd ns-allinone-2.28/tk8.4.5/ &&
wget ftp://gentoo.inode.at/portage/dev-la...astevent.patch
&& patch -p0 < tk-8.4-lastevent.patch && cd ../ &&
export CC=gcc34 CXX=g++34 && ./install

( Required : # yum install compat-gcc-34-c++ ).
