Please Suggest me some solutions whether the code is incorrect or I am doing something wrong.

'ns-allinone-2.33' will compile on most Linux's with
no errors.

There are some dependencies : xll-devel or libx11-dev
and some related, different names from e.g Fedora to Ubntu.

If you want help, better information on Linux name and
version is required, every time a question is asked.

The errors shown will tell more, when you show the lines,
where the errors start. Will usually show mising librarary
or missing files.h .

....

The Linux that I am using is Fedora 8. As you suggested there were some header file errors but I managed that by using the absolute paths as following.
I have used this syntax
#ifndef tcl
#define tcl
#include </usr/src/ns-allinone-2.33/tcl8.4.18/generic/tcl.h>
#endif [

in place of #include <tcl.h>

This removed all of the header file inclusion error but still the errors in the first post were obtained.

I compiled 'ns-allinone-2.33' on Fedora 8 half a year ago
with no errors at all !!

Not as root and not in /usr/src . Not recommended.
" /home/shyan/tmp/ns-allinone-2.33 " should be preferred.
( Or somewhere else in your /home and done as normal user )

'root' is for administration only, and has a very limited
set of path's in Fedora.

Give it a try, very difficult to fail with this.
....

After your suggestion errors that I received
Why it is not recognizing the path specified as
#include <aodv/aodv.h>
#include <aodv/aodv_packet.h>
#include <random.h>
#include <cmu-trace.h>


Do I have to set any path after installation while I am working in the BIN of ns-2.33

To build ns-allinone-2.33 :

'cd ns-allinone-2.33' ( use actual path )

[Shyan@localhost ns-allinone-2.33]$ ./install

... very simple, isnt't it ?

When the build is finished, a text will tell, how
to setup ns.
Probably also to be found in one of the links on this site
http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/ns-build.html

Please also consider ns-2.33 / nam-1.13 . See the same link.
Possibly easier to use on Linux.
....

I tried your method but still I am facing the problem where I am unable to compile the existing c++ files. The errors obtained are

Is it impossible to compile the existing c++ file then how can I compile the c++ file that I have changed?

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ibrary-690046/
Please see post # 2.
I guess, you can build edited c++ files with the same Makefile.
The way to find all locale "files.h" is in the Makefile
( ns-allinone-2.33/ns-2.33/Makefile ) like this, from line 64
So not using the Makefile > no finding the includes.
....

I checked the Makefile and the contents are there. I used the static path for testing whether the given code is working or not. I got the following errors.
Do we need to modify the already existing header files?

gcc dsdv.cc : gcc is for '.c' files, dsdv.cc is a 'c++' program.
c++ dsdv.cc would work, if there were no local includes.

The #include "dsdv.h" will be found, "priqueue.h" not.

Then have a look into "dsdv.h" and see, that it again has
11 (eleven) includes calling other headers with new includes
and so on .... all from ns-2.33, no path specified.

So editing the includes in all headers ( there are many )
to an absolute path would be an endless job .... and that
is why you have the Makefile, taking care of all that.
( The count is 564 headers, but you won't use all ! ! )

Example dsdv.h line 45 edited to #include "../common/agent.h"
> > "agent.h" then again have includes, not found.

So you will probably not get anything without the current
"ns-allinone-2.33/ns-2.33/Makefile"
....

Do we need to have the object code file of the c++ file before we use the make command or just the c++ file?

The "Makefile" asks g++ to build the object from the .cc file.

Try open the directory ns-allinone-2.33/ns-2.33/dsdv
and see 2 files ".o" They can be deleted, and make
can be run again, and watch what is happening ...
The objects will be made again, and copies of the 2
files are linked to an executable ( nse )
together with "100" other objects.

Also please read the Makefile line 37 .. 261 ..
