Hi, recently I downloaded wpan11.tar.gz from zheng's web site
https://sites.google.com/site/jzhengresearch/pub/file
I follow his readme file but when I run ./install I see below error also I usu NS2.34 But I see this error
By the I'm using ubuntu 12.04 if it usefull. OK what should I do.Can anybody help me to how fix this error?

Determine ns2 and nam pathes ...done
>> ns2 version: 2.34
>> ns2 directory: /home/reza/ns-allinone-2.34/ns-2.34
>> nam dirctory: /home/reza/ns-allinone-2.34/nam-1.14
Your ns2 (version 2.34) is too old
You need at least version 2.26 to install this packag

Welcome to LQ.

`wpan11.tar.gz' has a time stamp = Year 2004.
The files are meant for ns2 versions with no wpan : ns-2.26 .. ns-2.27,
.. and might also update the ns-2.28/wpan/**.

* About your question, at nabble.ns2 : "Can not open request log11" ..
http://network-simulator-ns-2.7690.n...l-td28476.html
.. Not easy to guess which changes you made to ns-2.34 :
The simulation $ ns wpan_demo1.tcl : No errors here with an original ns234.
Also : You can add almost any "extra protocol" / patch to ns-2.3x,
and "$ ns wpan_demo1.tcl" will still work with no errors :
→ I made 35 times different "$ ns-<added-protocol>" : 2 or 3 failed,
none with "can not open request log11" !

About "can not open request log11"
http://network-simulator-ns-2.7690.n...t-td28481.html

.. Won't help you much even if there was an error list,
or if you could debug your executable 'ns'.

It's much easier to guess how you got there :
Could be "a wrong OS", i.e. a 64bits (x86_64) Ubuntu,
combined with the use of the wrong compiler for ns-2.34.
( Should be gcc/g++ version 4.1.2 ).

All ns2 is for a 32bits (i686) OS.
Most ns-2.2x / 2.3x versions can be used with a 64bits OS.
But always with an inferior validate result.

So which Ubuntu 11.04 (EDIT to 12.04) are you using ?
Please show the output from the command : $ uname -m <Enter>

For the 32bits, i686 Ubuntu 11.04, please use gcc41/g++41, post #14 here
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...4-a-944856/#14
EDIT : Ubuntu 12.04 -i686, post #18 here ...
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...022/page2.html

Building : Start from scratch with a new unpacked ns-allinone-2.34.tar.gz :
$ cd ns-allinone-2.34/ && export CC=gcc41 CXX=g++41 && ./install

Thanks , I use Ubuntu 12.04, 32 bit and now I want to try another part of your answer gcc4.5 and gcc4.5 thanks dear knudfl

# 4 .
Do not use gcc-4.5 / g++-4.5 : gcc41/g++41 will do the job,
.. and no edits are to be done in ns-allinone-2.34 : Use as is, please.

The build command for ns-allinone-2.34 in 'Ubuntu 12.04 - i686' is :
$ cd ns-allinone-2.34/ && export CC=gcc41 CXX=g++41 && ./install

I.e. the gcc / g++ compilers, version 4.1.2 will build with no errors,
and create an executable 'ns' with no issues.

The compilers for Ubuntu 12.04 - i686, see post #18 here ..
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...022/page2.html

@knfufl thanks, but in previous I did some changes in NS2 based on these change

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
By the way I previous In run my tcl files with no error But I saw "Can not open request log11" when I want to run wpan_demo1.tcl in ns-allinone-2.34/ns-2.34/tcl/ex/wpan by write
ns wpan_demo1.tcl



+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

1. Do you tell me I should unistall my ns2 ? and again install ns2.34 and compile it with g++4.1 and g++4.1 packages?

Note: before tiring to unisatall I downloaded gcc4.1 and g++4.1 from your seggested link in(*)
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...4-a-944856/#14
and write this commands #3 After that I wrote this #5
But I saw an error during installation

2. Inorder to complete unistall NS2 on my 12.04 ubuntu is true to write this command :
sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove NS2 ?
[Sorry to ask ...I ask this because I had some problems to unistall non Ubuntu's repository packages in previous. ]
I saw that command termianl from belove link

# 6 .
No. You can have as many ns-allinone-2.xx as you want, installed at the same time.
But : Do not add any *PATH text to .bashrc : Never required.
→
How do you think I made the 35 times post #2 test ?
I didn't uninstall/install 35 times. It's a simple thing :
Keep all the executable ns* in /usr/local/bin/: The default ns install location!
Read "test__wpan_demo1.tcl.txt" to understand that ns can have different names :
ns, ns-orig, ns234, etc. etc. ( I have eighty (80) times ns**). Read post #2.

2."--auto-remove NS2 ?" : Only binary packages.deb can be removed.
Your ns234 is not a package : You say you modified ns-allineone-2.34?


"gcc41 / g++41" wasn't installed :
Please check presence of a tool before you are trying to use it :
A) $ which gcc41
B) $ which g++41
C) $ which g++


Which changes ? Please tell :
It's interesting to know, in order to track the wpan behavior.

@knudfl thanks a lot dear knudfl for your help. But still there is a point that I do not get it
suppose that I have had NS2.34 and also I added its PATH to my bashrc and Now I want to install NS2.35 based on #7
but the problem for is here when I run "NS 1.tcl" this NS refer to 2.34 or 2.35
Please tell my if I am wrong.

# 8 .

Repeat : Please answer the question from post #8 (and #2) :
Which changes were made to ns-2.34 ?
I.e. the changes causing the "can not open request log11" error.
It's an interesting error, and an explanation will help other ns users to avoid those issues.


""Do never add any *PATH text to .bashrc"" : If you did, delete it.
See post #2, the attached text : Make a copy of your different executable 'ns',
to new names, e.g. 'ns234', 'ns235' or whatever is relevant.
Then copy those new executable to /usr/local/bin/ : A system PATH.
And run simulations with $ ns234 file-name.tcl ,,, $ ns235 other-file.tcl
→ →
Do not run like $ ns 1.tcl
.. You can't be absolutely sure which of the 'ns's is going to be used.

I want to say at first how I installed ns2.34 on ubuntu12.04, after that some changes that I made, at the end I have two questions

1. 
   How did I install ns2.34 on ubuntu 12.04 ?
   I exactly did this instructions from this link Installation of ns-2.34 in Ubuntu (preferably 12.04) except two parts
   1. I copied ns-allinone-2.34 to home directory not Desktop
   2. and also I did not put
      Quote:

      sudo apt-get install xorg-dev g++ xgraph

      from part three of the instructions
   3. I add PATHes to ~/.bashrc not ~/.bash_aliases
2. 
   what changes I have done ?
   I just did these changes from this link integration-of-rred
   
   Quote:

   The Robust Random Early Detection (RRED) algorithm can be integrated into the NS2 distributions in these steps: 1. Copy the following files into the directory "ns-allinone-2.33\ns-2.33\queue". red-robust.h red-robust.cc 2. Add the following lines to the end of ns-default.tcl ("ns-allinone-2.33\ns-2.33\tcl\lib\ns-default.tcl"). # Added by leoking RobustRed config 0 Queue/RED/Robust set hash_bins_ 23 Queue/RED/Robust set hash_levels_ 2 Queue/RED/Robust set score_max_ 10 Queue/RED/Robust set score_min_ -1 Queue/RED/Robust set score_pass_ 0 Queue/RED/Robust set last_drop_time_ 0ms Queue/RED/Robust set drop_related_period_ 10ms # Added by leoking RobustRed config 1 3. Insert the following line of code before "$(OBJ_STL)" in the Makefile ("ns-allinone-2.33\ns-2.33\Makefile"): queue/red-robust.o \ 4. Recompile the ns-allinone-2.33 system by using the following commands (you should execute these commands in the ns-2.33 directory "ns-allinone-2.33\ns-2.33"): make clean make depend make

3. my questions:
   1. From #9 :
      Quote:

      See post #2, the attached text : Make a copy of your different executable 'ns',to new names, e.g. 'ns234', 'ns235' or whatever is relevant.Then copy those new executable to /usr/local/bin/ : A system PATH.And run simulations with $ ns234 file-name.tcl ,,, $ ns235 other-file.tcl

      would you please tell me to copy which file exactly from ns2.34 directory? there is a executable file with name 'ns'.I should rename this one -ns- to for example ns234 and copy this one to /usr/local/bin? please look at ns-234.jpg attached file.
   2. From #9:
      Quote:

      Do never add any *PATH text to .bashrc"" : If you did, delete it.

      I add these PATHs to my bashrc based on Installation of ns-2.34 in Ubuntu (preferably 12.04).You say I should remove which line of this all of them
      Quote:

      # LD_LIBRARY_PATH OTCL_LIB=/home/anurag/Desktop/ns-allinone-2.34/otcl-1.13 NS2_LIB=/home/anurag/Desktop/ns-allinone-2.34/lib X11_LIB=/usr/X11R6/lib USR_LOCAL_LIB=/usr/local/lib export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$OTCL_LIB:$NS2_LIB:$X11_LIB:$USR_LOCAL_LIB # TCL_LIBRARY TCL_LIB=/home/anurag/Desktop/ns-allinone-2.34/tcl8.4.18/library USR_LIB=/usr/lib export TCL_LIBRARY=$TCL_LIB:$USR_LIB # PATH XGRAPH=/home/anurag/Desktop/ns-allinone-2.34/bin:/home/anurag/Desktop/ns-allinone-2.34/tcl8.4.18/unix:/home/anurag/Desktop/ns-allinone-2.34/tk8.4.18/unix NS=/home/anurag/Desktop/ns-allinone-2.34/ns-2.34/ NAM=/home/anurag/Desktop/ns-allinone-2.34/nam-1.14/ PATH=$PATH:$XGRAPH:$NS:$NAM

By the way do you seggeut a link to install ns2.34 in a correct way which you consider please

# 10 . 1)
That's is almost what I guessed : Erlend's Lookout Post
http://erl1.wordpress.com/2011/10/14...neiric-ocelot/
... or a copy of "Erlend's Lookout Post".
The problem is that it isn't always working.

2) OK, then do not expect default simulations like wpan to work.
** For default simulations, build an ns-2.34 with no changes.
And save `ns-allinone-2.34/ns-2.34/ns' as "ns234-orig" :
/usr/local/bin/ns234-orig .

3)
* Delete it all.
The executable ns* is hard coded to know the location of it's libraries :
Meaning that setting library path's for ns makes no sense at all.
* All the " *PATH* text" is just a 1997-1999 ( !15 years old! ) text.
Not required any more. 'nam' → copy nam to /usr/local/bin.
'xgraph' is already in /usr/bin/ . Etc. etc.

3) Read post #2 : All the ns-*** in "test__wpan_demo1.tcl.txt"
are examples of my eighty (80) times ns-<name> in /usr/local/bin/ .

--> thanks

First I deleted all of contents(related to ns2) which I haved added to bashrc.
But still I have some questions
From #5
and From #11
Would you please talk more about no changes: because there is still some
changes which I think I must do based on related links. I divide them to two parts

1. Changes in Makefile.in based on http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...10-a-782783/#2
   
   Quote:

   2) Edit the ' Makefile.in ' in each application from CC = @CC@ CPP = @CXX@ to CC = gcc-4.3 CPP = g++-4.3

   1. Am I should do these changes too?
   2. If yes, My gcc and g++ version are gcc41 and g++41 based on http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...4-a-944856/#14
      
      Quote:

      Must be : export CC=gcc41 CXX=g++41 But first you must download and install gcc41, g++41 : gcc41-compat https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B7S...RjNjJhOTZjNjI2 g++41-compat https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B7S...hjMjljN2M2MGU4 sudo dpkg -i gcc41-compat-4.1.2_i386.deb g++41-compat-4.1.2_i386.deb .. Then reboot, and the new compilers can be used

      and From #5
      Quote:

      Do not use gcc-4.5 / g++-4.5 : gcc41/g++41 will do the job,

      What do I write instead of gcc-4.3 and g++-4.3 ?
      
      CC = @CC@
      CPP = @CXX@
      
      to
      
      CC = gcc41 or gcc41-compat-4.1.2_i386.deb or gcc41-compat or ...
      CPP =g++41 or g++41-compat-4.1.2_i386.deb or g++41-compat or ...
   
   
2. Other changes(Non bashrc) adopted from http://erl1.wordpress.com/2011/10/14...neiric-ocelot/
   What about these? Am I add them or not?
   
   
   Quote:

   Fix the error in the linking of otcl by editing line 6304 of otcl-1.13/configure so that it reads SHLIB_LD="gcc -shared" instead of SHLIB_LD="ld -shared" Then, edit the file ns-2.34/tools/ranvar.cc and change the line 219 from return GammaRandomVariable::GammaRandomVariable(1.0 + alpha_, beta_).value() * pow (u, 1.0 / alpha_); to return GammaRandomVariable(1.0 + alpha_, beta_).value() * pow (u, 1.0 / alpha_); Next, change the lines 183 and 185 in file ns-2.34/mobile/nakagami.cc to read resultPower = ErlangRandomVariable(Pr/m, int_m).value(); and resultPower = GammaRandomVariable(m, Pr/m).value(); Add a line after line 64 in ns-2.34/mac/mac-802_11Ext.h to read: #include <stddef.h>

# 12 .

! If you want a "clean" executable 'ns-orig' to use for default simulations,
! do no changes.


! Please do not use old advices specifically meant for Ubuntu 9.10, 10.04 .
The post is dated `17 January 2010' :
{ gcc-4.3 g++-4.3 } worked with 9.10,,, and for a short time with 10.04 :
Until 10.04 got updated.

1. ""What do I write instead of .."" : No changes means no changes at all !


Only for use with gcc-4.5, which isn't available for all later Ubuntu's.
And besides that, it's also "old advices" : Not necessarily valid any more.
So please do not make any changes at all :
{ gcc41, g++41 } will do the job : All ns226..ns234 / all Ubuntu 10.04 ..13.10 .
