Everybody's asking about NS2 tonight. Don't they give you any setup instructions as part of your first homework assignments?

Anyway, the error is saying that you need to install a C compiler before you can build NS2.

Use Redhat 9.0 for NS2 projects,

Because it have 1394 package, when comparing with

Ubento , fedrora , RH is best for NS2 .

Dear paulsm4,
The setup instructions I learned are very perfect without any further troubleshooting
I searched for gcc as below and shall I install all of them or which is the most precise package I should install?

Installing ns2 :
cd ns-allinone-2.34 && export CC=gcc34 CXX=g++34 && ./install
