ns2.29.3 installation on fedora 15 , nam installation problem
 

Hello.
I have installed ns2.29.3 on fedora 15 using vmware.
I need 2.29 version since i have to work with mobile wimax packages and I have to install NIST and wimax packages as well.
The ns2 installation done successfully and validation also successfull and when I type
$./ns in terminal, I get %.
But when I type $./nam, i get the following:
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 {[string equal [tk windowingsystem] "classic"]
|| [string equal [tk windowingsystem] "aqua"]} {
bind Listbox <MouseWheel> {
%W yview scroll [expr {..."
please help me regarding this. I am very new to both Linux, ns2. Thank you.

more info: nam-1.11, tk8.4.11,otcl-1.11, my gcc version 4.6.1

I have done what is suggested in http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...4/#post4040310
I downloaded tk-8.4-lastevent.patch and in
cd ns-allinone-2.33/tk-8.4.18/
patch -p0 < tk-8.4-lastevent.patch :
patching file generic/tk.h
Hunk #1 succeeded at 650 (offset 15 lines).

then I run ./install again. It finished seccessfully. I get % when I type ns. But i get the same error for Nam as I mentioned above again.
I repeat the installation again. But it seems the tk-8.4-lastevent.patch file doesnt have any effect. It solved the issue for people with similar problem.
Please help me.
why its not working for me?

I do believe that you will need to install gcc 4.3
then build it with 4.3 ( 4.6 is default ) once you patch 2.29 up to 2.34

also ns is in the fedora repos
" yum search ns " (ns-allinone)


for 2.29 ? you might need to install the legacy gcc 3.4 ( compat-gcc34) it is in the fedora repos
but if you need the older 3.2 you will need to build that your self.

Thank you for the reply.
I had already installed it in my system before installing ns :

yum install gcc-c++ compat-gcc-34-c++ automake autoconf libtool libX11-devel libXext-devel libXau-devel libXmu-devel xorg-x11-proto-devel
cd ns-allinone-2.29/
export CC=gcc34 CXX=g++34

but after intallation I got the same error for nam again.

my gcc is 4.6.1-9. so you are saying that doesnt support ns2.29 right?
if I type : yum install gcc-4.3
then it will be installed instead of the 4.6 one? ( is the default 4.6 removed from my system?) and doesnt it have any conflict for other applications in FC15?
what will happen if i suddenly update the whole system? $ sudo yum -y update (I believe that will update the gcc to the latest version)
Am I able to run ns2 after update again?

THank you.

on fedora 15 gcc 4.1 and 4.3 will need to be built from source
and installed side by side

you build gcc4.3 using the "--program-suffix=-4.3 "or -4.1 ( for gcc4.1 )


that is life using fedora

a lot of code is WAY too new for some programs

4.6 is WAY too new for a lot of things
for example on suse11.4 ( running right now ) i have gcc 3.4,4.1,4.3,and 4.5

then after building use "alternatives" ( /etc/alternatives ) in bash to set what one is to be used .

"flash" on fedora is done using "alternatives" also

and check this forum
the FULL build instructions for gcc 4.3 and the legacy 3.4 are posted in many places .


you might want to have a read through the fedora documentation
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/index.html
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US...tes/index.html

Nam is a separate application : Any 'nam' can be used.

Please use a binary Nam : nam-1.14.<arch>.tar.gz ..
32bits https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B7S25...nload&hl=en_US
64bits https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B7S25...nload&hl=en_US

Unpack, and : # cp nam /usr/local/bin/
