it is an exemple simulation of OLSR

Error
ggetting otcl failed error Existing when trying to install ns2.33 on uantu 12.04

Post # 17, @nirvruti.

Suggest : Use gcc / g++ version 4.1.2 :

gcc41-compat "1204" https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B7S...lNURldUenRyb3c
g++41-compat https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B7S...hjMjljN2M2MGU4

sudo dpkg -i gcc41-compat-4.1.2.ubu1204_i386.deb g++41-compat-4.1.2_i386.deb
.. Then reboot, and the new compiler can be used :

cd ns-allinone-2.33/ && export CC=gcc41 CXX=g++41 && ./install

knudfl
you look like a bit of an expert on NS2 ( and the various versions )

do you have an idea WHY so many are using 2.29 and older versions other than 2.34
(and not patching it to work with gcc41)
and why ns2 and on NEW os's ( the new os part is easy )

a "guess" is some 10 year old textbooks
and unqualified ( in Linux)teachers

# 19

Hi John.

Most of the available extra patches / protocols are written for ns2
versions 2.26 2.27 2.28 2.29 2.30 2.31 2.32 2.33 ( 2.34 ).
The source code files are c++ files.

Thus the easy way is to use the ns2 version that the patch was meant for.
In very rare occasions, an LQ member will modify the code to a later ns2.

About the protocols that teachers will suggest : Don't know.
But may be the teachers will assign an ns2 protocol,
that they used 10 years ago, when they were students.

.

Installation of ns-2.34 in Ubuntu (preferably 12.04)

1.Download ns-allinone-2.34.tar.gz file from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/nsnam/files/

2.Copy the ns-allinone-2.34.tar.gz file in to the desktop directory.
Note: All the commands listed from here assumes the ns2 to be in desktop; you can put the extracted file anywhere and change the address in the commands correspondingly.

3.open terminal type:
sudo apt-get update (to get list of update packages/libraries in OS)

3.Install required libraries for ns2 using terminal:
sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libxmu-dev
sudo apt-get install xorg-dev g++ xgraph

4.Extract the ns-allinone-2.34.tar.gz file by typing following commands in terminal:
cd Desktop <Enter>
tar zxvf ns-allinone-2.34.tar.gz <Enter>
(A new folder named ns-allinone-2.34 will be generated.)

5.To avoid installation errors modify the specified files in ns-allinone-2.34 folder as specified below:

i.In ns-allinone-2.34/otcl-1.13/configure
change into
SHLIB_LD="gcc -shared"
instead of
SHLIB_LD="ld -shared"

ii.ns-allinone-2.34/ns-2.34/tools/ranvar.cc line:219 change
return GammaRandomVariable::GammaRandomVariable(1.0 + alpha_, beta_).value() * pow (u, 1.0 / alpha_);
to
return GammaRandomVariable(1.0 + alpha_, beta_).value() * pow (u, 1.0 / alpha_);

iii.Change the lines 183 % and 185 in file ns-allinone-2.34/ns-2.34/mobile/nakagami.cc to
resultPower = ErlangRandomVariable(Pr/m, int_m).value();
and
resultPower = GammaRandomVariable(m, Pr/m).value();
respectively.

iv.Next add a bellow line after line 64 in ns-allinone-2.34/ns-2.34/mac/mac-802_11Ext.h
#include <stddef.h>

6. Installation. in terminal goto Desktop/ns-allinone-2.34 and type:
./install
This takes about 5min and note down the instructions you get for setting path.

7. Setting Path;According to instructions you get on the terminal after installation change the following path

i.In terminal sudo gedit ~/.bash_aliases

ii.Then copy the following path into .bash_aliases and modify according to your instructions:

# LD_LIBRARY_PATH
OTCL_LIB=/home/anurag/Desktop/ns-allinone-2.34/otcl-1.13
NS2_LIB=/home/anurag/Desktop/ns-allinone-2.34/lib
X11_LIB=/usr/X11R6/lib
USR_LOCAL_LIB=/usr/local/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$OTCL_LIB:$NS2_LIB:$X11_LIB:$USR_LOCAL_LIB

# TCL_LIBRARY
TCL_LIB=/home/anurag/Desktop/ns-allinone-2.34/tcl8.4.18/library
USR_LIB=/usr/lib
export TCL_LIBRARY=$TCL_LIB:$USR_LIB

# PATH
XGRAPH=/home/anurag/Desktop/ns-allinone-2.34/bin:/home/anurag/Desktop/ns-allinone-2.34/tcl8.4.18/unix:/home/anurag/Desktop/ns-allinone-2.34/tk8.4.18/unix
NS=/home/anurag/Desktop/ns-allinone-2.34/ns-2.34/
NAM=/home/anurag/Desktop/ns-allinone-2.34/nam-1.14/
PATH=$PATH:$XGRAPH:$NS:$NAM

iii.Then it takes effect immediately you should give below mentioned using terminal.
source ~/.bashrc

8. Now move to Desktop/ns-allinone-2.34/ns-2.34 and type:
./validate
Validations tests are performed for about 10-15 min.

9.If you type ns in your terminal % should be displayed.

# 21 .

Copy the two packages into an empty <new-folder> , and type ..
$ sudo dpkg -i *
... Then you can avoid your typos.

Or just click the packages, and the "Package Installer" will do the job.


Generally about typos when typing a command :
Use the completion in your dash/bash terminal →
Type in the two first letters, and <TAB> : The possible choices will be shown.
Examples : 1) $ sudo dpkg - i gc<TAB> 2) $ sudo dpkg - i g+<TAB>

Or use copy / paste , when its a long command.
Also :
Why not use copy / paste for your short error outputs instead of image.png ?
Show your error messages in 'Code Tags' : Much nicer.

hi everyone, I work with Wimax but when i execute TCL i got this error:

invalid command name "Phy/WirelessPhy/OFDM"
while executing
"Phy/WirelessPhy/OFDM create _o18 "

user@ubuntu:~/ns-allinone-2.33/tk8.4.18/unix$ ./configure
./configure: line 1892: config.log: Permission denied
./configure: line 1902: config.log: Permission denied



Hello friend I am facing problem while configuring tk8.4.18 ..please help me..

Post #24, @amitkatre1989@gmail.com : Welcome to LQ.

Start from scratch in /home/<name>/<ns2>/ with :
$ tar xvf ns-allinone-2.33.tar.gz
. http://sourceforge.net/projects/nsna...ar.gz/download

* I.e. use no 'sudo', use no Windows© tool for the unpack :
* That will all cause "Permission denied".

-

knudfl@ thank you for your response.

Can you please tell me how to uninstall it and command to reinstall it without sudo..

← #26 .
If "it" means an ns-allinone-2.33/ that was unpacked with
$ sudo tar xvf ns-allinone-2.33.tar.gz :
Deleting is : $ sudo rm -r ns-allinone-2.33/


See post #25 : $ tar xvf ns-allinone-2.33.tar.gz
And : $ cd ns-allinone-2.33/
$ export CC=gcc41 CXX=g++41 && ./install

* When you have specified the "Ubuntu version",
you can get information about the "gcc41/g++41" version,
that will work with your OS :
a) Please show the output from the command : $ uname -m
b) $ cat /etc/issue

-

I have removed previous installation.

I am trying to install fresh ns-2.33 but otcl-1.13 is not getting installed.

Please see the error======>

After that I am manually trying to configure otcl

What to do please help

← #28 .

Please use a valid "ns-allinone-2.33.tar.gz"
http://sourceforge.net/projects/nsna...ar.gz/download

? Are you sure you did : $ tar xvf ns-allinone-2.33.tar.gz
?

-

you run " ./configure --options --MoreOptions --AndYetMoreOptions "
as a NORMAL USER
you run " make"
as a NORMAL USER

then you become root TO INSTALL
you almost ALWAYS need to be ROOT to run the "install" part
