Hello all,
I was installing 802.11e model(TKN EDCA_ns-2_28-v1-0-2.tgz).
I kept this tar file in ns-allinone-2.34/ns-2.34/mac.Then
extracted files in same folder.

I got following error while make command was given


mac/802_11e/mac-802_11e.cc:41:20: error: stream.h: No such file or directory
mac/802_11e/mac-802_11e.cc: In member function ‘void Mac802_11e::dump(char*)’:
mac/802_11e/mac-802_11e.cc:302: warning: format ‘%x’ expects type ‘unsigned int’, but argument 3 has type ‘MacState*’

I found similar thread in this forum & to solve this issue I used

command sudo apt-get install build-essential

but I got following error

Pls guide me in this regard
Thank you

Ubuntu 9.10 is an old unsupported version.
Was moved to old-releases long time ago.
Please change the URL in /etc/apt/sources.list from
"http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu..."
to : http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
... And do : sudo apt-get update

Required for ns2 : sudo apt-get install \
g++ autoconf automake make libtool patch xgraph \
libx11-dev libxmu-dev libxmu-headers libxt-dev

.

Hello Sir/Madam
Thank you for quick reply(help).
I made the changes as per guideline given,still problem exist.
I made changes in /etc/apt/sources.list
as follows
for ex. Lines before modification

deb http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic main restricted
deb-src http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic main restricted

Lines after modification
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic main restricted

Then I put
sudo apt-get update command
following ERRORS occured

Err http://security.ubuntu.com karmic-security/main Packages
404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.184 80]
Err http://security.ubuntu.com karmic-security/restricted Packages
404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.184 80]
Hit http://old-releases.ubuntu.com karmic-updates/multiverse Sources
Err http://security.ubuntu.com karmic-security/main Sources


Also I gave these commands for ns2
sudo apt-get install \
> g++ autoconf automake make libtool patch xgraph \
> libx11-dev libxmu-dev libxmu-headers libxt-dev

I got ERROR after "make depend "

make: *** No rule to make target `tcp/linux/tcp_naivereno.cc', needed by `depend'. Stop.


ERROR after " make "

mac/802_11e/mac-802_11e.cc:41:20: error: stream.h: No such file or directory

Plz guide me to solve the same.
Thank you

The new /etc/apt/sources.list :
Don't know what's up with the stream.h issue.
Could origin from the first install, if g++-4.1 was used.
( sudo apt-get install g++-4.1 ).

Either run : cd ns-allinone-2.34/ns-2.34/ &&
export CC=gcc-4.1 CXX=g++-4.1 && ./configure && make
( No reason to use 'make depend', when it's a "second run".)

... Or edit lines 36-37 in the Makefile to
CC = gcc-4.1
CPP = g++-4.1
