an error with #include <tcl.h>

dina · 05-10-2013, 09:10 AM

I have problem in compiling vectorbasedforward.cc routing protocol in aqua-sim package over ns-2.30 for underwater wireless sensor network. I have ubuntu 10.10. The problem is when I compile any .cc have (#include <tcl.h>) as:

Code:

dina@dina-Satellite-L635:~/aqua-sim/ns-2.30/underwatersensor/uw_routing$ gcc vectorbasedforward.cc
vectorbasedforward.cc:7: fatal error: tcl.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

what is missing in my package??

Also, i tried g++:

Code:

dina@dina-Satellite-L635:~/aqua-sim/ns-2.30/underwatersensor/uw_routing$ g++ vectorbasedforward.cc
vectorbasedforward.cc:7: fatal error: tcl.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

i have just downloaded the file "tcl-devel-8.4.7-4.el4.i386.rpm" which contains:
/usr/include/tcl.h
/usr/lib
/usr/share
and i need to copy these file in my /usr/include and ....
but this operation is denied???why??
if this step is true?how can i import these files???

Ns2 files.cc files cannot be compiled seperately.

Tcl / tcl.h : Is present in the "tcl8.4.13/" supplied with ns-2.30.

Recompiling 'vectorbasedforward.cc' :
$ cd ns-2.30/underwatersensor/uw_routing/ && rm *.o && exit
$ cd ns-2.30/ && make

.

"tcl-devel-8.4.7-4.el4.i386.rpm"
a rpm

but your icon under your name is Ubuntu
ubuntu dose not use red hat RPM's let alone a now (mostly) dead rhel4 rpm

normally on modern OS's in the /usr/include folder tcl is in
/usr/include/Tcl/tcl.h
the folder in include is needed
#include <Tcl/tcl.h>

and or update ld

i followed these steps

.

but, still the error

Code:

dina@dina-Satellite-L635:~/aqua-sim/ns-2.30/underwatersensor/uw_routing$ g++ vectorbasedforward.cc
vectorbasedforward.cc:7: fatal error: tcl.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

do i remove the *.o files in the "uw_routing" folder only? or in all the "underwatersensor" folder, too?

First, thanks for your explaination

but when i search for tcl.h in my usr/include/ i found the following:

Code:

dina@dina-Satellite-L635:/usr/include$ cd tcl8.4
dina@dina-Satellite-L635:/usr/include/tcl8.4$ ls
tclDecls.h  tclPlatDecls.h  tkDecls.h  tkPlatDecls.h
tcl.h       tcl-private     tk.h       tk-private

So that, i modify this in the vectorbasedforward.cc as:
#include <tcl8.4/tcl.h>
the error is solved, but still all the other paths

Code:

dina@dina-Satellite-L635:~/aqua-sim/ns-2.30/underwatersensor/uw_routing$ g++ vectorbasedforward.cc
vectorbasedforward.cc:8: fatal error: underwatersensor/uw_mac/underwaterchannel.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

i will try to complete all the next errors by modifying the paths and i will tell you the result
Finally, what does it mean:
[QOUTE]update ld[/QOUTE]

One way you might be able to deal with this is by modifying the CFLAGS directive in the make file.
(I'm assuming there is only one makefile, and not a netsted group of them).

The CFLAGS current assignments gets "-I/usr/include/tcl8.4" added on.

This should cause the makefile to use it for every "cc $CFLAGS ..." entry.

underwaterchannel.h : Should be found if you didn't change anything.

Other files.h : The Makefile takes care of those. With a path.
If you move (or rename) an ns-allinone to a different location,
you will often have to start from scratch.
Or move the ns-allinone back to the original location.

"ns-2.30/Makefile" INCLUDES :

i didn't make any changes in underwaterchannel.h

when i open home/dina/aqua-sim/ns-2.30/Makefile as you mentioned above i found:
INCLUDES = \
-I. \
-I/home/dina/aqua-sim/tclcl-1.18 -I/home/dina/aqua-sim/otcl-1.12 -I/home/dina/aqua-sim/include -I/home/dina/aqua-sim/include -I/usr/include/pcap \

-I./diffusion3/lib/nr -I./diffusion3/ns \
-I./diffusion3/filter_core -I./asim/ -I./qs \
-I./diffserv -I./satellite \
-I./wpan

As you see, i installed "aqua-sim" which support underwater sensor network not "ns-allinone-2.30" What can i do???

# 10 .

The package http://www.engr.uconn.edu/~yiz09005/Aqua-Sim-1.0.tgz
is a renamed ns-allinone-2.30 patched with aquasim.
The naming makes no difference.
To reset the odd behavior you can use the ./install in the top directory.
Or start from scratch in a new directory, and include your modification.
Then run $ export CC=gcc41 CXX=g++41 && ./install .

Two things : Do not add any path text to .bashrc .
And : The 'ns' executable can be renamed to be recognizable :
Like $ mv ns ns-aqua , etc.

this is the INCLUDE in my makefile:
INCLUDES = \
-I. \
-I/home/dina/aqua-sim/tclcl-1.18 -I/home/dina/aqua-sim/otcl -I/home/dina/aqua-sim/include -I/home/dina/aqua-sim/include -I/usr/include/pcap \

-I./diffserv -I./satellite \
-I./underwatersensor/uw_tcl \
-I./underwatersensor/uw_routing \
-I./wpan
is there any missing or errors???
the error not solved:

Code:

dina@dina-Satellite-L635:~/aqua-sim/ns-2.30/underwatersensor/uw_routing$ g++ vectorbasedforward.cc 
vectorbasedforward.cc:7: fatal error: tcl.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
dina@dina-Satellite-L635:~/aqua-sim/ns-2.30/underwatersensor/uw_routing$

does the error caused by putting . as:
-I./home/dina/aqua-sim/tclcl-1.18 -I./home/dina/aqua-sim/otcl -I./home/dina/aqua-sim/include -I./home/dina/aqua-sim/include -I./usr/include/pcap \

or what???
Thanks

# 12 .

Yes. "-I./home/dina/aqua-sim/tclcl-1.18 -I./home/dina/aqua-sim/otcl -I./home/dina/aqua-sim/include -I./home/dina/aqua-sim/include -I./usr/include/pcap "
... is wrong. ! The period ( . ) means the current directory !

Solution : Start from scratch in a new directory,
with a new unpacked Aqua-Sim-1.0.tgz.
Make the changes, and use "./install" for the build.

before start from scratch, do i uninstall the old version?
if yes, how can i do that?

knudfl · 05-26-2013, 03:35 AM

# 14 .

Removing / deleting <Aquasim> :
Delete the folder with the content from Aqua-Sim-1.0.tgz .

And delete any text added to .bashrc :
And don't add anything for the new install. Not required by a Linux OS.

And by the way : You can have as many versions of ns-allinone as you want,
installed at the same time.
