Hi, knudfl

Could you please help me to know who to solve this problem i faced!. really I need your help
when I installed mobiwan on ns-allinone-2.33 on Fedora 11 I faced these errors, I don't know what is the problem
while I followed the installation instruction:

I tried with
@localhost distrib-mobiwan]$ gmake mobiwan
& $ make mobiwan
Also the same

That's problem already solved but still have some obstacles:

I couldn't finish the installation:

@localhost distrib-mobiwan]$ make mobiwan

I got such these errors:

waiting your available advices

Post # 18, @ Asago : Welcome to LQ.
Looks interesting. Where did you find that method ?
And what does the file " .work " mean ?

( Usually it would be : cd /home/<name>/ns2/ns-allinone-2.33/ns-2.33/ &&
make clean && make -f Makefile.<new> ).

..

I followed the steps outlined in this link below: (kindly take a look)

http://hpds.ee.ncku.edu.tw/~smallko/...nstruction.txt

I couldn't apply step No (4.), I got the above errors!

Thanks for your replaying

Post # 20 :
That is not an instruction for ns-allinone-2.33.
Neither is the patch.

Is for ns-allinone-2.1b6-gcc32(.tar.gz)

Please read post #2, which has a link to the 2.33 patch.

..

Thank You kndufl.,
I got the patch from your appreciated comment @ post#2, but still couldn't find the mobiwan installation instruction for ns-2.33..
could you please info me how can find it! sorry for disturbing you

It's Done! .. Many thinks Knudfl

Dear NS Users,

These are the errors that occurs when i am trying to run the tcl script that implements TCP reno in IPv4 after mobiwan is installed in ns-2.33.

I need helps to solve these errors and appreciate it so much if someone can tell me how to solve it.

@ bsyew, post # 24 : Looks like something, that has been answered before.

To run non mobiwan stuff, a binary 'ns' with no mobiwan is required.
1) Build an ns-allinone-2.33 and rename the binary ns to ns233.
Copy 'ns233' to /usr/local/bin/

2) Build an ns-allinone-2.33 with mobiwan. cp ns ns-mobiwan.
Copy 'ns-mobiwan' to /usr/local/bin/

Then you can do : 'ns233 file.tcl' with the non mobiwan files.
And : 'ns-mobiwan file.tcl' with "mobiwan files".

Suggest : Read all (12) mobiwan threads here at LQ.

@knudfl :

I followed your advise on building two version of ns2 in fedora and copy both binaries to /usr/local/bin/. However, I have doubt regarding the .bashrc file. At first, ns-2.33 without mobiwan is built. The .bashrc file is editted according to the correct path in which ns-2.33 without mobiwan is located. Then after that when ns-2.33 with mobiwan is built, the path environment in .bashrc file changes again. After source ~/.bashrc, ns consider that the environment is accorded to the latest bashrc file, that is the environment path for ns-2.33 with mobiwan. Am i doing the correct steps Sir?

# 26 :
The whole ".bashrc" thing is mostly for older ns-allinone-2.xx (2.26 and older ?)
With ns* in /usr/local/bin/ : It's a system PATH.

About the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
All later ns2 versions are partly statically compiled, and do usually not depend
on anything else than the X*libs in /usr/lib/.

So ns or a renamed ns will most often know the path : ns-allinone-2.xx/lib/ .
( Problems occur, if you change the ns-allinone-2.xx/lib/ location.)

With three or four different ns-allinone-2* on every OS, I never experience
ns asking for ///otlcl*/libotcl.* or ///tclcl*/libtclcl.*.
And I never change the bashrc.

knudfl:

current ns2.33 and mobiwan finally compatible in my fedora. Thanks for your advice knudfl.

I have a question regarding the trace file that i obtained from mobiwan simulation. Where can i get the trace format that explains each column of the mobiwan's trace file? I need the trace format in order to compute the throughput and delay by using awk & perl.

Thanks in advance.

Google .. trace columns ns2 ..

We had a recent thread about trace format ( columns ), but I can't find it.

..

can anyone please help me to how to start for MIP at ns2, can i dot that at ns2.33 or i need to do old version ns2.1b6?
