With reference to question in #150

The patch was provided by my project guide.
During his M.Tech in IIT Guwahati, he got the patch from the actual author of GPSR, communicating him by mail and phone from IIT domain.
That was the time of ns-2.26; and he used Ubuntu 9.0 platform.

I am going for installation from scratch.
with the help of :
http://ramakrishnamundugar.blogspot....untu-1204.html

At what step I should go for the "export" command.

Awaiting your reply.


Plz tell me
With Thanks.

# 151 : Do not quote complete posts. A "one word" reference will do, like #151.
.... * Please edit your posts.

Well, then please upload the patch to e.g. "Google Drive".


There are some errors in the "ramakrishnamundugar" work :
1) Using 'sudo' : Don't do that. No sudo in ns2. (Except for 'sudo make install'.)
2) The *PATH settings : Only meant to be used when it's not your computer.
Originally (year 1999 and earlier) used with the University's computers,
where you had no permissions to install to /usr/local/.

And : I don't know which compiler "ramakrishnamundugar" has used.

The proof method : Do not edit e.g. ns-2.33, but use gcc41 / g++41.
Anyway most of the old patches require an old compiler,
so editing the basic ns-2.33 isn't much help,
when the added/patched files are failing to compile.

# 155 .
*No package install : No g++41.

Please delete the downloaded package "g++41-compat-4.1.2_i386.deb",
.. download a new one, and do $ sudo dpkg -i g++41-compat-4.1.2_i386.deb
.. May work ?

Dear Knudfl,
I thank you for your consistent support and help.
For the first time the installtion of ns-2.33 was as smooth and clean one shot process.

Setting the path going to patch GPSR.
Hope this tim e no segmentation fault!

with Thanks.

Dear Knudfl,

Same problem persists!

Now it is giving,,,,

With thanks.
Please reply.

# 160 .
Happens when you are using a wrong copy of the executable 'ns'.
Can also be a failed build.

**** Repeat : You will have to supply the "patch" if you want any more help.

And also very important : Do not use an executable by name 'ns' !
! Rename ns to ns-KeLiu. Copy "ns-KeLiu" to /usr/local/bin/.
Run $ ns-KeLiu wireless-gpsr.tcl

-

How to do that?

I need time and permissions on ethical grounds.

# 162 .
1) cd ns-allinone-2.33/ns-2.33/
2) HOWTO make a copy of 'ns' to a new name : $ cp ns ns-KeLiu
3) $ sudo cp ns-KeLiu /usr/local/bin/
4) $ cd tcl/
5) $ ns-KeLiu wireless-gpsr.tcl


Reasons to supply the <unknown gpsr patch> :
You cannot get any answers for <unknown-software>.
