Is there any restriction in compiling the c++ files in ns2 library?
 

I got the following errors while executing the dsdv.cc that was installed with the simulator. I have tried by setting paths that did not work too. But these errors are in the standard files provided by the simulator so I am little bit confused whether we are able to compile any new c++ file or not, since it is not compiling the existing c++ file which has been already compiled for the object code generation.

'cd ns-allinone-2.33/ns-2.33/' .. './configure' .. 'make'
will compile the missing things in 2 minutes, dsdv as the last one.

Never thought of it before, I am using a different setup =
ns-2.33 + nam-1.13 , installed to /usr/local , then no new
LD_LIBRARY_PATH has to be made.


Good Luck !
