how to install ns2.27 on Ubuntu 9.10 64-bits version
 

Hi,

I tried to install ns2.27 on my Ubuntu 9.10 64-bits version. I downloaded the gcc-3.3...amd64.deb instead of the one you recommend. When installing the debian files, I get this at the terminal


sudo dpkg -i cpp-3.3_3.3.6-15ubuntu4_amd64.deb g++-3.3_3.3.6-15ubuntu4_amd64.deb gcc-3.3_3.3.6-15ubuntu4_amd64.deb gcc-3.3-base_3.3.6-15ubuntu4_amd64.deb libstdc++5-3.3-dev_3.3.6-15ubuntu4_amd64.deb

I don't see any errors but the file is not installed (I think) because when I go to synaptic
they are not there. And trying to proceed with the ns2 installation results in error since I don't have the gcc3.3

Welcome to LQ.

All your installs say "replace / replacement" :
Looks like the packages were already installed.

'g++-3.3' can also be installed with 'sudo apt-get install' or Synaptic ..
I.e. add Hardy to /etc/apt/sources.list ..
Please try this command : ls /usr/bin/g++*
( And / or : which g++-3.3 ).


What are the errors you get, when you compile ns-2.27 ? ?

..

Thanks a lot for the warm welcome :)

I got this after typing the command:
/usr/bin/g++ /usr/bin/g++-3.3 /usr/bin/g++-4.3

(I have no idea what that means, but I'm assuming it means somehow g++3.3_3.3.6 is installed)

And the errors that I get when installing ns2.27 are these:

I think the error is related to the gcc. But I don't know how to fix it. Thanks again for replying.

Yes, those are errors only occurring on a 64 Bits OS.

The example, you show from ns-allinone-2.27/ns-2.27/indep-utils/webtrace-conv/
is ucb/ , which comes with a separate Makefile.in .
Line 27 can be edited to : CC = g++-3.3

These files are actually of minor importance, as the binary 'ns' at this stage
already has been created. ( As I remember it.)

Except from ucb/, there may be a couple more directories in webtrace-conv/
with either a Makefile.in or a Makefile. Same procedure :
You can try editing CC = @CXX@ to CC = g++-3.3 , if they cause errors.

Good luck !
..

Thanks knudfl!

in ../ns2.27 I typed the following command "find -iname Makefile.in"

Then, you get the following directories:

./indep-utils/webtrace-conv/ucb/Makefile.in
./indep-utils/webtrace-conv/dec/Makefile.in
./indep-utils/webtrace-conv/epa/Makefile.in
./indep-utils/webtrace-conv/nlanr/Makefile.in
./indep-utils/cmu-scen-gen/setdest/Makefile.in
./Makefile.in

I manually modified each Makefile.in changing line #27 CC = @CXX@ to CC = gcc-3.3. I know you said g++-3.3 but I got confused since in your thread you said gcc-3.3. Makefile is automatically modified when you change Makefile.in, so no need to edit it.

Anyway, there is an improvement in the errors. I'm only getting this now:

I will proceed with the installation of MIT LEACH and see how it goes and update you. I only reply so soon because I noticed the number of views of this thread got so high in just three hours, so I'm guessing there are quite a few ppl out there in my situation.

CC = @CXX@ , i.e. CXX means c++.

indep-utils/webtrace-conv/ucb/ : CXX = g++-3.3


The others are less important, will usually compile with the default gcc, g++.
indep-utils/webtrace-conv/dosdbell/ : CC = gcc-3.3
indep-utils/webtrace-conv/dec/ : CC = g++-3.3
indep-utils/webtrace-conv/epa/ : CC = g++-3.3
indep-utils/webtrace-conv/nlanr/ : CC = g++-3.3
indep-utils/cmu-scen-gen/setdest/ : CC = gcc-3.3 , CCX = g++
When you have file.c : gcc. When it's files.cc : g++ for c++ files.
( *.c is c code. *.cc (or *.cpp) is c++ code.)


I actually compiled a clean old ns-allinone-2.27 on Fedora 14 - 32,
while I wrote post # 4. No files from ns-allinone-2.34 was used.
The patch ns-2.27-gcc410.patch was included : (Works for gcc-3.4.6...gcc-4.1.0).
http://cfs3.tistory.com/upload_contr...7-gcc410.patch
And no editing of any Makefile.in, just : export CC=g++34 CXX=g++34 && ./install
And, validate : "validate overall report: all tests passed"

( But this simple method will usually not work on Ubuntu.)
..

to eliminate the error of
./../../autoconf.h:85: error: namespace `CPP_NAMESPACE' undeclared
make[1]: *** [proxytrace.o] Error 1.


In autoconfig.h.in replace line #84 "using namespace CPP_NAMESPACE"; to "using namespace std" and ns2 will compile with no errors at all.

I will address leach installation in my next post because now I'm having some minor errors

This post is for anyone trying to install leach. The process is just the usual one. I hope this helps somehow.

For the installation of leach obtain the mit.tar.gz package at

http://www.internetworkflow.com/down...ach/mit.tar.gz

Step 1: Place the mit.tar.gz package into the ns-allione-2.27/ns-2.27 directory and type the following commands in the terminal cd ns-allione-2.27/ns-2.27

gunzip mit.tar.gz
tar -xvf mit.tar

Step 2: Edit the file in ns-allione2.27/ns-2.27/Makefile.in

Add –DMIT_uAMPS to the DEFINE list
Add -I./mit/rca –I./mit/uAMPS to the INCLUDE list

Add the following just prior to the line that says gaf/gaf.o \
mit/rca/energy.o mit/rca/rcagent.o \
mit/rca/rca-ll.o mit/rca/resource.o \
mac/mac-sensor-timers.o mac/mac-sensor.o mit/uAMPS/bsagent.o \

Edi the file in ns-allione-2.27/ns-2.27/mit/uAMPS/sims/uamps.tcl
Replace lines #12 to 15 with these lines:

source mit/rca/ns-ranode.tcl
source mit/uAMPS/ns-bsapp.tcl
source mit/uAMPS/extras.tcl
source mit/uAMPS/stats.tcl

Replace lines #20 to 22 with these lines:
source mit/rca/resources/ns-resource-manager.tcl
source mit/rca/resources/ns-energy-resource.tcl
source mit/rca/resources/ns-neighbor-resource.tcl

Follow the same logic of replacing $env(RCA_LIBRARY) and $env(uAMPS_LIBRARY) with mit/rca and mit/uAMPS correspondingly in the following files: ns-allione-2.27/ns-2.27/mit/uAMPS/sims/leach.tcl ns-allione-2.27/ns-2.27/mit/uAMPS/sims/leach-c.tcl

Step 3: cd ns-allione-2.27/ns-2.27/

./configure
make clean
make
./validate
./leach-test

Check in ns-allione-2.27/ns-2.27/mit/leach_sims/leach.err if the file reports any errors

Check the simulation outputs in ns-allione-2.27/ns-2.27/mit/leach_sims/leach.out

GOOD LUCK!

hi,
I'm trying to install leach in NS2.27 (os:ubuntu 10.04) and I followed which is mentioned in thread #8 about installing leach.But when I run the ./test_leach I have the following error in the leach.err file
and instead I get the result in leach.out ,I have 2 new files "leach.save1" and" leach.save2" the first one has as a result
and the second one has I don't undrestand what does it mean and I don't know if the compilation was successfully done or not.
I need your help and I will be Grateful if someone can replay me as soon as possible because it urgent work for me .
Thanks.

LEACH Ubuntu 10.04, posts #5 and #6 here ..
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...-4175453312/#5

cd ns-allinone-2.27/ns-2.27/
.. Please start with 'test' , which will run 'leach_test' :
export RCA_LIBRARY=$NS/mit/rca && export uAMPS_LIBRARY=$NS/mit/uAMPS && ./test

Replace $NS with the full path, like ..
export RCA_LIBRARY=/home/doussa/ns-allinone-2.27/ns-2.27/mit/rca && export uAMPS_LIBRARY=/home/doussa/ns-allinone-2.27/ns-2.27/mit/uAMPS && ./test

./leach_test can be run alone, in the same way :
1) export RCA_LIBRARY=/home/doussa/ns-allinone-2.27/ns-2.27/mit/rca
2) export uAMPS_LIBRARY=/home/doussa/ns-allinone-2.27/ns-2.27/mit/uAMPS
3) ./leach_test

Note : There is no file by name "test_leach".

sorry I mean leach_test file.
I make all the changes as you said and I run ./test (after modify file test:with moving line:cd ../../ above line:./leach_test )
but I have this message couldn't read file "wireless-demo-csci694.tcl": no such file or directory

NOTE:the path of test file is ns-allinone-2.27/ns-2.27/mit
thank you for replying

# 14 .
What do you mean ? ?

The tests, './test' and './leach_test' must be run from ns-allinone-2.27/ns-2.27/.
That's the required location.
Else the dependencies like wireless-demo-csci694.tcl etc. will not be found.

OK
when I extracted the mit.tar.gz under NS2.27 I have a folder nammed mit inwhich I have test file leach_test file tcl common apps ...and a mit(inwhich leach_sims,rca,uAMPS).

Now I move test file and leach_test under NS2.27 an I have the following msg
If I replace this path with mit/mit/leach_sims/leach.err,can this resolve the problem ?
I'm witing for your help

# 16 .
That's wrong. You are supposed to use 'tar xvf mit.tar.gz' inside ns-2.27,
( only the command line can be used ) and you will get :
apps/
common/
mac/
mit/
tcl/
trace/
leach_test*
test*
package_up*
... I.e. if you are using a GUI archive tool for the unpack,
an extra folder mit/ is created : mit/mit/ is absolutely wrong.

-

Ah ok you're right.Thankx for the advice.
ok I will try that.
sorry but I have another question if you can help me:I installed leach in NS2.34 at the same time and I have no problem with the installation of ns2.34 but when I run the "make"(installing leach) I got
Does it mean that is no problem?
and when I run "bash ./test",I got no errors in leach.err but the total energy=319 which is ellogical result.
thx knudfl for your efforts.

# 19 .
Means : Everything is OK, because you did build this with a previous 'make'.


Perfect.


Same as post # 13 : Please read answers about energy, probably by @deepa_2111 .
→ I.e. in the two long leach threads.

ok knudfl thx a lot.
