hi
I have installed Ubuntu 10.04 remix in my new hp mini 110 netbook
and i have succeeded in installing NS2.34 after a so many trials
but now after running ./validate some of the tests have failed. wat does that mean?
is my ns2 installation not successful?
What should be done?
Pls help me


some non-portable tests also failed:
./test-all-srm ./test-all-smac-multihop ./test-all-hier-routing ./test-all-algo-routing ./test-all-mcast ./test-all-vc ./test-all-session ./test-all-mixmode ./test-all-simultaneous ./test-all-webcache ./test-all-mcache ./test-all-plm ./test-all-wireless-tdma ./test-all-satellite to re-run a specific test, cd tcl/test; ./test-all-TEST-NAME

Welcome to LQ. .. .. ..

Requirements, Ubuntu 10.04 : g++ make automake autoconf
libx11-dev libxmu-dev libxmu-headers libxt-dev libtool

And the 'tk-8.4-lastevent.patch' : cd ns-allinone-2.34/tk8.4.18
&& patch -p0 < tk-8.4-lastevent.patch && exit

cd ns-allinone-2.34/ && ./install && cd ns-2.34 && ./validate

""validate overall report: all tests passed"" : No, I get no errors.
( I have installed ns2 on most Ubuntus. This was a new 10.04 install,
so to be sure, everything worked, I did run all the above.)

Suggest : Start from scratch with a new ns-allinone-2.34.

Other info : LQ Search → 'Tag Name' = ns2

Good luck !

hi thanks for the support
i tried this
i pasted the tk-8.4-lastevent.patch in ns-allinone-2.34/tk8.4.18
and tried
cd ns-allinone-2.34/tk8.4.18&& patch -p0 < tk-8.4-lastevent.patch && exit

but i got this!!

pavai@pavai-laptop:~/Documents$ cd ns-allinone-2.34/tk8.4.18 && patch -p0 < tk-8.4-lastevent.patch && exit

what do i do?

Post # 2, repeat : Other info : LQ Search → 'Tag Name' = ns2

""1 out of 1 hunk FAILED"" :

Has been answered before, is simply a message telling that a certain
line already was edited. I.e. the patch is for all versions of tk8.4.x(x),
later versions have been fixed for some of the issues.
