I had this problem in ns-2.33 after installing and therefore installed ns-2.34 to see if it rectified, I installed each version following the instructions from http://www.edaboard.com/ftopic297674.html and validated each installation which came back successful.

If anyone has any ideas please help me as I have no idea what is wrong.

Welcome to LQ.

Please use 'code tags' :
Just type [ code ] where the code starts ....
and [ /code ] at the end, but without <space>
inside the square parentheses.
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi....php?do=bbcode

Unkown error : Not knowing your native language, and your keybord ...
Or is your browser displaying % % ?
But, anyway, % (percent) is to be replaced with $ (dollar) sign's, and typo's corrected.
Template.tcl : Section "IV. The first Tcl script"
http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/tutorial/nsscript1.html
Code:
# start with these lines :

set ns [new Simulator]
set nf [open out.nam w]
$ns namtrace-all $nf

proc finish {} {
        global ns nf
        $ns flush-trace
        close $nf
        exec nam out.nam &
        exit 0
}

#######################
# end with :

$ns at 5.0 "finish"
$ns run
and "traffic.tcl" .. please click the 'Play' button in 'nam', and wait a minute.
Code:
set ns [new Simulator]

set nf [open out.nam w]
$ns namtrace-all $nf

proc finish {} {
        global ns nf
        $ns flush-trace
        close $nf
        exec nam out.nam &
        exit 0
}

set n0 [$ns node]
set n1 [$ns node]

$ns duplex-link $n0 $n1 1Mb 10ms DropTail

#Create a UDP agent and attach it to node n0
set udp0 [new Agent/UDP]
$ns attach-agent $n0 $udp0

# Create a CBR traffic source and attach it to udp0
set cbr0 [new Application/Traffic/CBR]
$cbr0 set packetSize_ 500
$cbr0 set interval_ 0.005
$cbr0 attach-agent $udp0

set null0 [new Agent/Null] 
$ns attach-agent $n1 $null0

$ns connect $udp0 $null0

$ns at 0.5 "$cbr0 start"
$ns at 4.5 "$cbr0 stop"


$ns at 5.0 "finish"

$ns run

The code must be saved as a file

ns-2.33/indep-utils/cmu-scen-gen/setdest/make-scen.csh

'make-scen.csh' is a script :
cat make-scen.csh
... and see, that line one is : #!/bin/csh

'/bin/csh' is usually provided by the package 'tcsh'.
Please install 'tcsh' to know if 'make-scen.csh'
works at all. ( I get no result, running it, but
" META_CLASS: Undefined variable. ")
.....
.....
Other examples ( see the README files )

ns-2.33/indep-utils/cmu-scen-gen/setdest
./setdest -v 1 -n 20 -p 2.0 -s 10.0 -t 200 -x 500 -y 500 > scen-20-test

ns-2.33/indep-utils/cmu-scen-gen/
ns cbrgen.tcl -type cbr -nn 10 -seed 1 -mc 8 -rate 10.00

And
http://winet.ece.ufl.edu/~wen/setdest_para.html
./setdest -v 1 -n 20 -p 2.0 -M 10.0 -t 200 -x 500 -y 500 > scen-20_v1.tcl

A very few scripts use 'csh' ...
( ns2 is a mix of files created by a lot of contributors.)
... so by coincidence, you are first meeting it now.

Package install, Fedora 8 :
1) su , password
2) yum install <package>

so ...
'yum install tcsh'
will do ( Or use the Package Manager, 'Add Remove Software'.)

# 14

1) Unpack ns-2.33 to a new directory.
2) And use 'cp -a' to replace aodv.cc with a new one.

... Next time ... and before you edit a file :
Please make a backup of it. Some invisible keystrokes
can make it difficult to come back to the original ...
