Hi,
I'm trying to install ns2.1b9a on fedora 8, i've used the patch "ns21b9a.patch" but still there's an error while using 'make' that I can't seem to remove.. it says there's no "tools/random.o". Can anyone please tell me how to remove this error and install ns2.1b9a.
you DO KNOW that fedora 8 hit it's END OF LIFE years ago .
That there is and has been NO support for fedora 8 for years
fedora 8 is a unsupported and dead version , and that Fedora 14 is the current .
but if you insist on using a dead version !!!
a few things - yum WILL NOT WORK
unless you - by hand edit it to point to the historical archives yes historical .
see this http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=221471
and pay attention to ALL the WARNINGS
thanks. .i am using "ns-allinone-2.1b9a-gcc32.tar.gz" from the website you mentioned, i'll try again and then will try to install a latest version of fedora
thanks..i tried all the steps to install in fedora 8 but none of the gcc rpm's work..they each give an error. will gcc 3.3.6 be installed on fedora 14 cause i have very less time to complete my project, i don't want to risk any more time, should i install fedora 14 or an older version of Linux which already has a compatible gcc for ns-2.1b9a?
Distribution: PCLinuxOS2023 Fedora38 + 50+ other Linux OS, for test only.

Rep:
All Fedora, 8 ... 14 will work. ( I have tested with 8, 13, 14.)
Installing the gcc 3.3.6 packages : The install order is like here http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...p?p=4187015/#4
1) gcc3.3-cpp, 2) gcc3.3, 3) gcc3.3-c++, etc.
Please read everything in that link very carefully !
You may or may not need the libstdc++ packages, depending on what's
already installed.
The command 'rpm -Uvh gcc3.3-c++-3.3.6-1pclos2007.i586.rpm : will tell,
if the libstdc++5-devel-3.3.6-1pclos2007.i586.rpm is required.
