Ns make failed!

thanx

sudo apt-get install g++-4.4

And read http://erl1.wordpress.com/2011/10/14...neiric-ocelot/

Then :
cd ns-allinone-2.34/ && export CC=gcc-4.4 CXX=g++-4.4 && ./install
( No need to edit any Makefile's, when the command
'export CC=gcc-4.4 CXX=g++-4.4' is used.)

.

Yeah I thought it was the about gcc and g++ as well
So I did try to update them!and the exact version
Of my cc is 4.4, But nothing comes out of it
! But will try it again and let you know soon!
Thanks one more time

i thought it was a permission error while doing ./install so i got to do sudo ./install, and it gives me the random.o problem again. i will remove all the gcc and try to update and export to see
.

well now am getting this message

Code:

? May be the "Erlend edits" won't work with Ubuntu 12.04 ?
( You could try to follow his advices strictly.)

But : Better start from scratch with a new unpacked
ns-allinone-2.34.tar.gz for every retry.
Alternatively : 'make clean' in all applications,
and delete all the generated 'Makefile', if any.
( tcl8.4.18/unix/, tk8.4.18/unix/, otcl*/, tclcl*/ etc. etc.)

The method I am using : A gcc41-compat*, gcc version 4.1.2.
A 32bits Ubuntu 12.04 is required. No edits at all, ns-2.34.
( gcc41-compat* / g++41-compat works with ns-allinone -2.27..-2.34 ).

The command 'uname -m' will reply with your architecture :
i686 (32bits) or x86_64 (64bits).

new error
when i do : Make clean it says permission denied, so i sudi su
then after make clean , i did "make depend" which gives me the following error

Code:

root@williams-Veriton-M680G:/home/williams/ns-allinone-2.34/ns-2.34# make dependmake: *** No rule to make target `tcp/linux/tcp_naivereno.cc', needed by `depend'.  Stop.

Make clean

It's 'make clean', not 'Make clean'.
And : If you use 'sudo' ( or root ) for any commands in
home/williams/ns-allinone-2.34/ns-2.34 : Troubles to come,
i.e. you will have no access as unprivileged user.
May be you will have to start from scratch, and then: no sudo at all.

Quote:

`tcp/linux/tcp_naivereno.cc'

There is no tcp/linux/tcp_naivereno.cc, but tcp/linux/tcp_naivereno.c
.. Unless you added a file.cc ?

indeed i checked in the directory and there isnt , idont know why this error is anoying me, ..for 'make' its a mistake while i was typing this post ,i know that its not capital "M"... but good news

everything is working fine and i can keep on with my simulation...
thank you so much i mark it as solved

you right about the sudo thing. the root will lock it but for now i will just finish what i have to do and start over again. ;-)

Mayank2933 · 04-04-2014, 06:58 AM

I also found out that there is no naivereno.cc but naivereno.c. so now what to do, and how to make the "make depend" work properly , pls help , i am new to ns2 and fedora

Post #10 , @Mayank2933 : Welcome to LQ.

'make depend' is something that is done automatically,
with the ./install command in the top directory.
No reason to repeat the 'make depend', if you redo e.g.make in ns-2.xx/.

I know that somebody wrote 'make depend' in a paper (many?) years ago,
and that a lot of students just repeat writing 'make depend' in their "copy advise".
But I have never experienced a situation where it actually was required.
Conclusion : Skip 'make depend'. Or run ./install , if you edited Makefile.in .

Thanks a lot knudfl, it was great to have quick reply .

Actually i have installed ns2.34 successfully. now i have to add leach to it. I have downloaded leach code and installing file from http://arungupta.co.in/blog/?p=113 and, now after skipping make depend, and running make i am getting this error :

Assembler messages:
Fatal error: can't create mit/rca/energy.o: Permission denied
make: *** [mit/rca/energy.o] Error 1

what can be the possible flaw and how may i remove it.

The permissions are looking OK here in the "ns-234-leach-arungupta" package.
? Did you unpack the files with $ sudo tar xvf ns-234-leach.tar.gz ?
.. Then you have no access to all the files. No "sudo" in ns2, please.
Suggest : cd mit/rca/ , and then delete the old unusable <files>.o
.. And the same in mit/uAMPS/.

no sudo is used in the shell script. for the above problem i changed to root user and then tried , it worked this time. But now i have another problem . According to the blog i should get some specific error upon running ./leach_test , but that error is not showing up in leach.err. instead the error is :

./leach_test: line 37: ns: command not found

but still i tried to run leach.out . and here it says again permission denied.

May be no 'ns' was ever created ?

If the file ns-allinone/ns-2.34/ns is present, please do :
$ cd ns-allinone/ns-2.34/ && sudo make install
.. I.e. 'make install' will copy ns to a system PATH = /usr/local/bin/
