http://anupamasikchiwsn.blogspot.in/
after all the updates i did ./install
and now i am stuck with this error
In file included from src_rtg/sragent.cc:53:0:

make: *** [src_rtg/sragent.o] Error 1
Ns make failed!

please help me.
thanks in advance

So, the instructions you followed were for installing NS2 on Ubuntu 10.04...and you used them to install it on Ubuntu 12.34??? And you are aware that there IS no version 12.34 of Ubuntu, right??? And you don't say what version of NS2 you're trying to install, but there are many packages to choose from, along with common installation problems on their website:

hi TBOne

thanks in advance

Did you bother putting "how to install ns2.34 on ubuntu 12.04" into Google??? Amazingly, the VERY FIRST HIT is:
http://ns2-ubuntu.blogspot.com/

...among many others. Try to look things up for yourself, before posting.

@hamdan : Welcome to LQ.

Blog´s and other informations you can find on the Internet,
are often written by young students, who are working
with ns2 and a "Linux OS" for the first time.
Some information may be valid the day it was written.
But : Things change → OS´s are updated, etc.

`ns-allinone-2.34' , Ubuntu 12.04 and later :
$ sudo apt-get install \
g++ g++-4.4 autoconf automake make patch libtool libxmu-dev xgraph

Unpack ns-allinone-2.34.tar.gz in /home/name/:
$ tar xvf ns-allinone-2.34.tar.gz
$ cd ns-allinone-2.34/
$ patch -p0 < otcl_ns234_gcc-4.4.patch
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7S...ew?usp=sharing
$ export CC=gcc-4.4 CXX=g++-4.4 && ./install
$ cd ns-2.34/
$ sudo make install
... That's it. Nothing more. And you can do simulations.

Nam : Use a package from post #2 here ....
