ns make error in fedora 17
 

Hi,
i used following commands to install ns2.31 in fedora 17:
# yum install \ libX11-devel libXext-devel libXau-devel libXmu-devel gcc-c++
#cd ns-allinone-2.31
When i give
./install
it runs for sometime and then gives following error:
make: *** [linkstate/ls.o] Error 1
Ns make failed!

Then i used
cd ns-2.31
make install
and it gave following error
[root@localhost ns-2.31]# make install
for d in /usr/local/man/man1; do \
if [ ! -d $d ]; then \
mkdir -p $d ;\
fi;\
done
/usr/bin/install -c -m 755 ns /usr/local/bin
/usr/bin/install: cannot stat `ns': No such file or directory
make: *** [install-ns] Error 1

Please suggest what to do

Regards
Fabe

# yum install compat-gcc-34-c++

Better start from scratch.
Or 'make clean' in all applications, and delete all the 'Makefile's.

$ cd ns-allinone-2.31/ && export CC=gcc34 CXX=g++34 && ./install


.

Thanks,
Before your reply I had changed the line number 137 in ns-2.31/linkstate/ls.h


void eraseAll() { erase(baseMap::begin(), baseMap::end()); }

to this line

void eraseAll() { this->erase(baseMap::begin(), baseMap::end()); }
as per instructions of the link http://www.nsnam.com/
and then

./install.

It worked. After adding Paths, I gave ./validate command but it showed following:

validate overall report: some tests failed:
./test-all-newreno ./test-all-tcpOptions ./test-all-tcpVariants ./test-all-aimd ./test-all-frto ./test-all-quickstart ./test-all-manual-routing ./test-all-session ./test-all-links
to re-run a specific test, cd tcl/test; ./test-all-TEST-NAME
Notice that some tests in webcache will fail on freebsd when -O is turned on.
This is due to some event reordering, which will disappear when -g is turned on.

Now I have two queries:
1. Whether ns is installed properly
2. If yes, then how to validate above failed tests

Regards

The instructions are for ns-2.35 .

Those settings are not really required on Linux.
And : Impossible to use when you have more than one version of ns-allinone-2.xx.

I will come back with an answer for the validate result.
For best result : The OS must be 32bits. ( 'uname -m' : i686 ).

.

Thanks
It was showing the reference of same line and file in the terminal as well when i first tried ./install. That is why I changed the line and tried again ./install.

I tried it and it is showing the same
[root@localhost a]# uname -m
i686

nam also not working
ns: finish: couldn't execute "nam": no such file or directory
while executing
"exec nam out.nam &"
(procedure "finish" line 7)
invoked from within
"finish"

Nam : Please use a binary 'nam'.

https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B7S...k4NGI5NzliM2Ux
nam-1.14.i586.tar.gz : Unpack, and copy 'nam' to /usr/local/bin/

Validate : I got the same moderate result with gcc/g++ ver. 3.4.
Installed a new ns-allinone-2.31 from scratch with gcc / g++ version 4.1.2 :
Same result again.

The later Ubuntu / Debian are actually better with old ns2.
This is ns-allinone-2.31, Ubuntu 10.10, gcc/g++ ver. 4.1.2 :
( gcc41-compat / g++41-compat )
.

Not able to understand. Please elaborate

#8 : ""validate overall report: all tests passed""
.. is the finishing text, when all tests pass. ( Ubuntu 10.10 ).

Quite a difference from the results we got in Fedora 17 :

I do this
 

but when do this line
$ cd ns-allinone-2.31/ && export CC=gcc34 CXX=g++34 && ./install
i have this msg
./install: Permission denied

Post # 10.
Either the file "install" isn't executable, or has another owner ?

Use this install command : sh install
Or make the file "install" executable : chmod +x install


If you extracted ns-allinone-2.31.tar.gz as root in "/home/majd/",
or if you extracted to a location outside "/home/majd/" :
Then all the files are owned by root. Better delete ns-allinone-2.31/,
.. and unpack the *tar.gz as unprivileged user in "/home/majd/".

.

[root@MSH ns-allinone-2.31]# export CC=gcc34 CXX=g++34 && ./installbash: ./install: Permission denied
[root@MSH ns-allinone-2.31]# pwd
/home/majd/ns-allinone-2.31

# 12

Please use :

export CC=gcc34 CXX=g++34 && sh install

done
 

but I have this at the end
