Fedora 10 - 11 - 12 : post #3 here
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...11-a-817322/#3

Path : Either try with the path settings suggested, when
you have finished ' ./install ' for ns-allinone-2.33,
Or : install some very few files to a system path :
cd ns-allinone-2.33/otcl-1.13/ &&
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-release --enable-devel
&& make , # make install
cd ../tclcl-1.19/ &&
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-release --enable-devel
&& make , # make install
cd ../ns-2.34/
# make install
cd ../nam-1.14/
# make install
..

hello sir,
thank you sir.
your instructions were helpful.
i followed following instructions to install ns2.33 in fedora 12

cd ns-allinone-2.33
./install

sudo gedit ~/.bashrc
#environment values for NS2/NAM
# LD_LIBRARY_PATH
OTCL_LIB=/your directory/ns-allinone-2.33/otcl-1.13
NS2_LIB=/your directory/ns-allinone-2.33/lib
X11_LIB=/usr/X11R6/lib
USR_LOCAL_LIB=/usr/local/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$OTCL_LIB:$NS2_LIB:$X11_LIB:$USR_LOCAL_LIB

# TCL_LIBRARY
TCL_LIB=/your directory/tcl8.4.18/library
USR_LIB=/usr/lib
export TCL_LIBRARY=$TCL_LIB:$USR_LIB

# PATH
XGRAPH=/your directory/ns-allinone-2.33/bin:/your directory/ns-allinone-2.33/tcl8.4.18/unix:/your directory/ns-allinone-2.33/tk8.4.18/unix
NS=/your directory/ns-allinone-2.33/ns-2.33/
NAM=/your directory/ns-allinone-2.33/nam-1.13/
PATH=$PATH:$XGRAPH:$NS:$NAM

source ~/.bashrc
cd ns-2.33
./validate
now i cleared ns in installation.when i type ns whereever in commandpropt i can get %. but i m struggling with nam.when i type nam i got instruction like following.
[code omitted because of length]
: no event type or button # or keysym
while executing
“bind Listbox {
%W yview scroll [expr {- (%D / 120) * 4}] units
}”
invoked from within
“if {[tk windowingsystem] eq “classic” || [tk windowingsystem] eq “aqua”} {
bind Listbox {
%W yview scroll [expr {- (%D)}] units
}
bind Li…”

what steps should be follow to rectify this inconvinent.
please help sir

Please read post #2

QUOTE :
ns-allinone-2.3x also requires the tk-8.4-lastevent.patch :
http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=161242
..

cd ns-allinone-2.33/tk-8.4.18/
patch -p0 < tk-8.4-lastevent.patch

And run ./install again : Only tk4.8.18 and nam-1.xx will change,
and you should now get a 'nam' that works. _ _ _ :) _

ns2.33 installation and path setting in fedora12
 

sir,
thankyou sir
i patch the tk-8.4-lastevent.patch file from /ns-allinone/tk8.4.18/
nam is also worked well.

now i executed one tcl program.i can view the result in nam sucessfully.
then,when i execute it with ns program_name.tcl from command prompt the part of my program is executed and i can see the calculated through put and delay etc...in terminal window.

i couldn't get it in graph.
error :ns: proc_name: couldn't execute "xgraph": no such file or directory

what are the steps should be followed and what are the possibilities to get these?

i check well in path setting for xgraph also.
please help me to execute my program successfully.

thankyou.
vahitha

'xgraph' is not considered important, and was never created.
It's a old tool, 2001 and will usually not build on a new Linux.

But you can use a binary from a Debian package :
http://packages.debian.org/stable/math/xgraph
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool....1-10_i386.deb
> xgraph_12.1-10_i386.deb
Unpack with : 1) ar -x xgraph_12.1-10_i386.deb
2) tar xvf data.tar.gz , and copy 'xgraph' to /usr/local/bin/

Can be tested with ns-allinone-2.34/xgraph-12.1/examples/...
..

sir,
thankyou.
i followed your suggestions to install xgraph.
it is installed sucessfully.
when i execute builtin xgraph from /xgraph-12.1/example/
it is executed sucessfully.
but when i execute my program,i received "problem in input" message.
in which part i should concentrate?

part of my program
# Plot Recorded Statistics

exec xgraph n5-pkt_rec.tr n12-pkt_rec.tr n11-pkt_rec.tr n14-pkt_rec.tr n0-pkt_rec.tr -geometry 800x400 -t "NO OF PACKET RECIVED AT SINK" -x "Time" -y "Receive packets" &

please help me.

Not a subject I know much about, but is xgraph supposed to use
.tr files directly ?
Or should "out.tr" be filtered into a new file = "out.xgr" ?

Google .. ns2 display out.tr .. ( 1,000,000 hits ) Examples :
http://nile.wpi.edu/NS/example_srm.html

http://spectral.mscs.mu.edu/Net2008I...TML/node2.html
QUOTE : "awk filters the trace file out.tr using filter fil2.awk and
directs the output to out2.xgr (to be displayed with xgraph later on).
Same with fil4.awk and fil6.awk."
..

sir,
thankyou sir.
i need to know how to uninstall ns2.33 from fedora 12. i cannot delete ns-allinone-2.33 folder from root directory.
if i delete the message displays as "permission denied"
please tell me how to delete ns2 permanantly.
thankyou,
vahitha

Hang on a minute...
Why is this thread on the AIX forum?

Shouldn't it be over here:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/fedora-35/

hello Sir knudfl,

Your solution was fantastic and my nam worked perfectly well with your patch file. But after a few runs it failed to work again. It gave some weird message like.....


________________________________________________
nam:
[code omitted because of length]
: no event type or button # or keysym
while executing
"bind Listbox <MouseWheel> {
%W yview scroll [expr {- (%D / 120) * 4}] units
}"
invoked from within
"if {[tk windowingsystem] eq "classic" || [tk windowingsystem] eq "aqua"} {
bind Listbox <MouseWheel> {
%W yview scroll [expr {- (%D)}] units
}
bind Li..."
___________________________________________________


And when i tried.....


/ns-allinone-2.33/tk8.4.18$ patch -p0 < tk-8.4-lastevent.patch.txt


it gave a message like......
_________________________________________________________________

Sir i am using Ubuntu 9.10 and in the middle of my college project. I will be always grateful to you if you could help me.


thank you
dev

Post # 11, @dev_crazy56 : Welcome to LQ. .. .. :) ..

Nam is a separate application : Any 'nam' can be used.
E.g. https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B7S25...=CLPiyxo&hl=en
> > nam-1.14.i586.tar.gz

Untar the package to /usr/local/bin/ : And it is in a system path.
Or 'tar xvf nam-1.14.i586.tar.gz' anywhere and : sudo cp nam /usr/local/bin/
> > Tested on Ubuntu 9.10 → → Works perfect.

More info here, post # 8
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...9/#post4287321

..

thank you so much sir for your interest.


I did as per your instruction and then......

______________________________________________________________________

debasish@debasish-laptop:~/Downloads/nam$ tar xvf nam-1.14.i586.tar.gz
nam-1.14.i586/
nam-1.14.i586/nam
debasish@debasish-laptop:~/Downloads/nam$ sudo cp nam /usr/local/bin/
[sudo] password for debasish:
cp: cannot stat `nam': No such file or directory
debasish@debasish-laptop:~/Downloads/nam$ sudo cp nam/usr/local/bin/
cp: missing destination file operand after `nam/usr/local/bin/'
Try `cp --help' for more information.
_______________________________________________________________________


and now whenever i try to run nam in my terminal it shows the same result.

_______________________________________________________________________

debasish@debasish-laptop:/usr/local/bin$ nam
nam:
[code omitted because of length]
: no event type or button # or keysym
while executing
"bind Listbox <MouseWheel> {
%W yview scroll [expr {- (%D / 120) * 4}] units
}"
invoked from within
"if {[tk windowingsystem] eq "classic" || [tk windowingsystem] eq "aqua"} {
bind Listbox <MouseWheel> {
%W yview scroll [expr {- (%D)}] units
}
bind Li..."

____________________________________________________________________________

But when i graphically go to usr/local/bin/ and double click on the 'nam' executable icon, it runs which is a little bit unsatisfactory.

sir i m purely a newbie, apologies for the trouble i m causing.....

sincerely dev

# 13

tar xvf nam-1.14.i586.tar.gz && cd nam-1.14.i586/ && sudo cp nam /usr/local/bin/


..

that worked perfectly sir,

thank you very much for you time,
