ns installation wont let me do it on ubuntu 9.10

# 30 : A new protocol or other modifications are to be
compiled into the binary ( executable ) " ns ", to work.

Actually you can have more than one 'ns', just rename it,
before a new one is created. Example: ns234, ns-mod1, ns-mod2.

The other binaries / libraries are usually not modified,
and can be installed to /usr/* , 'nam' to /usr/local/bin/ .

Hi dears,
after finishing all packages update, I start installing the NS2.34
sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libxmu-dev

then
./install

I got this error:

Hi according to your post #6
at step:
cd ../ns-2.34/
sudo make install
I got

mariam@ubuntu:~/ns-allinone-2.34/ns-2.34$ sudo make install

done

/usr/bin/install: cannot stat `ns': No such file or directory
make: *** [install-ns] Error 1

and at step:
cd ../nam-1.14/
sudo make install

I got

Quote:

mariam@ubuntu:~/ns-allinone-2.34/nam-1.14$ sudo make install
make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop.

and finally when I try to run an example, i got

knudfl · 04-16-2010, 09:43 PM

# 33 : ns , nam : you can't install something, that isn't there.
The build script is "install".
And the compiling sequence is tcl-tk-octl-tclcl-ns-nam.
A stop in otcl : no ns. Or nam.

Post # 4 tells : Edit ' otcl-1.13/Makefile.in ' to gcc-4.3 .
Or patch otcl, please see post # 4 here
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...10-a-799883/#4
And then just do ./install in the top directory, ns-allinone-2.34/
to build all the applications.

marioma · 04-17-2010, 04:25 AM

Dear Knudfl
Finally it WOEKS %%%%%%%%%%%%%
Really very thanks for your kind help and support.
Hope all good for you ISA
Thanks a lot

The Solution suggested by knudfl works for Ubuntu 10.04 as well.

But as only ' otcl ' dislikes gcc-4.4.1, I will choose
this solution : Edit ' otcl-1.13/Makefile.in ', line 7

Code:

From :
CC=       @CC@

to :
CC=       gcc-4.3

... And ns-allinone-2.34 compiles on Ubuntu 9.10 with no errors.
I will attach the result of ' ./validate ' here when it has
finished.
.....

Even I had same problem..
I followed these steps. But during Edit ' otcl-1.13/Makefile.in ',..
I got this error msg..
bash: otcl-1.13/Makefile.in: Permission denied
How to get permission to edit that file???
Please reply me fast..please do reply..

@Yugesh Gowda, post # 37 : Welcome to LQ.

'ns-allinone-2.34/' is supposed to be unpacked in /home/<user-name>/<any-folder>/
... Like : /home/<user-name>/ns2/ns-allinone-2.34/ .

I.e in your /home/<user-name>/, you have access to all files :
You can edit a file, and the most important : You can use all "ns2 functions",
when you have built the application.

Instead of editing the Makefile.in you can just do :
cd ns-allinone-2.34/ && export CC=gcc-4.3 CXX=g++-4.3 && ./install

..

Thanx for your help..
It installed succesfully..
But i don't know how to run ns2 simulation..
I got this message after installation.. what does this mean.. Do i have to do some other steps in order to complete installation..

Code:

Please put /home/yugesh/ns-allinone-2.34/bin:/home/yugesh/ns-allinone-2.34/tcl8.4.18/unix:/home/yugesh/ns-allinone-2.34/tk8.4.18/unix
into your PATH environment; so that you'll be able to run itm/tclsh/wish/xgraph.

IMPORTANT NOTICES:

(1) You MUST put /home/yugesh/ns-allinone-2.34/otcl-1.13, /home/yugesh/ns-allinone-2.34/lib, 
    into your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.
    If it complains about X libraries, add path to your X libraries 
    into LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
    If you are using csh, you can set it like:
		setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH <paths>
    If you are using sh, you can set it like:
		export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<paths>

(2) You MUST put /home/yugesh/ns-allinone-2.34/tcl8.4.18/library into your TCL_LIBRARY environmental
    variable. Otherwise ns/nam will complain during startup.


After these steps, you can now run the ns validation suite with
cd ns-2.34; ./validate

For trouble shooting, please first read ns problems page 
http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/ns-problems.html. Also search the ns mailing list archive
for related posts

If there are any further steps to done.. Then please tell me how to do it..

.. I don't know how to run ns2 simulation ..

What is the purpose of building ns-allinone-2.34 ?
There are tons of ns2 documentation on the internet : Google can find it.

Quote:

I got this message after installation.. what does this mean..

ns and nam will usually work with the libraries in /usr/lib/, so if everything
works, no reason to set an LD_LIBRARY_PATH .
The PATH for the binaries : cd ns-allinone-2.34/ns-2.34/ && sudo make install
&& cd ../nam-1.14/ && sudo make install.
"sudo make install" will copy ns, nam to /usr/local/bin :
They are then in a system path.
