Welcome to LQ.
Looks OK. Except that g++-4.1 should be used : sudo apt-get install g++-4.1
No gcc-4.3 is required any more.
( ? Could be used at 10.10 release time, and until a year ago.)
About your "download errors" : Ubuntu 10.10 is unsupported,
some mirrors may not work any more.
But first, please try with a : sudo apt-get update
Which URL are you using in /etc/apt/sources.list ?
( 'cat /etc/apt/sources.list' ).
Like : deb http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu maverick main
( The above mirror still works.)
i did run sudo apt-get install g++-4.1 but it still gave me an error as below
selorm@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install g++-4.1
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?

sudo apt-get install ns nam xgraph
Please do not install any ns (nam ?) from Ubuntu.
The ns package name is "ns2". Is version 2.35, will conflict with ns-2.34,
unless you rename /usr/bin/ns to /usr/bin/ns235.
Some libraries are installed too. Not versions that ns-2.34 can use.
( More possible conflicts.)
