install aqua-sim on ubuntu
 

i have installed ubuntu 10.10 in my windows7 via VMWare Player4. then i have followed the steps to install ns-2.30
but at the step of editting the paths in bashrc i found this message:
dina@ubuntu:~/Aqua-sim$ gedit ~/.bashrc
dina@ubuntu:~/Aqua-sim$ source ~/.bashrc
bash: /usr/local/lib: is a directory

what is the solution???
when i ignored this and trying to continue:
dina@ubuntu:~/Aqua-sim$ ns
% nam
nam:
[code omitted because of length]
: no event type or button # or keysym
while executing
"bind Listbox <MouseWheel> {
%W yview scroll [expr {- (%D / 120) * 4}] units
}"
invoked from within
"if {[tk windowingsystem] eq "classic" || [tk windowingsystem] eq "aqua"} {
bind Listbox <MouseWheel> {
%W yview scroll [expr {- (%D)}] units
}
bind Li..."
child process exited abnormally

what can i do?????

Welcome to LQ.
Not required for Linux. This will do for 'ns' :
cd ns-allinone-2.30/ns-2.30/ && sudo make install
... I.e. 'make install' will copy 'ns' to /usr/local/bin/


Nam is a separate application.
One version will work for all version of ns-2.xx.
Suggest : Use a binary version ( 1.14 )
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...04-a-842109/#4 > post #4
.. Unpack nam-1.14.<arch>.tar.gz, And : sudo cp nam /usr/local/bin/

.

i followed these steps: first the ns is run correctly
,but nam is not. i found this error:
dina@ubuntu:~/Aqua-sim/ns-2.30/underwatersensor/uw_tcl$ nam vbf_example_5.tcl

i dont know where is the problem????

# 3
1) Please open a terminal, and type : nam
... to watch if nam opens OK.


2) 'nam' cannot be used for a .tcl file.
$ nam vbf_example_5.tcl : Is wrong.
Should be : $ ns vbf_example_5.tcl

.. And if an "out.nam" file is created, you can do $ nam out.nam

.

Thank you
the problem now is solved.
