Dear all,

My distro is Linux version 2.6.28-11-generic (buildd@palmer) (gcc version 4.3.3 (Ubuntu 4.3.3-5ubuntu4) ).
The ubuntu version is 9.04 ,jaunty. ( Don't know which one is useful for you, so adding all that I know :s)

I am trying to install 802.11e patch available on sourceforge.net , within ns2.28.
After doing all the modification mentioned in the associated readme file, I tried to configure, the output was like:

No .configure file found in current directory
Continuing with default options...
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
....... with no warning or error message. So I took it to be OK.

Then I did, make clean, make depend , make .

Make depend gave the following error:
mac/802_11e/mac-802_11e.cc:41:20: error: stream.h: No such file or directory
mac/802_11e/d-tail.cc:40:22: error: iostream.h: No such file or directory

So Make command also failed for the same reason:

mac/802_11e/mac-802_11e.cc:41:20: error: stream.h: No such file or directory
In file included from ./link/delay.h:42,
from mac/802_11e/mac-802_11e.cc:36:
./common/packet.h: In constructor ‘p_info:_info()’:

........................

mac/802_11e/mac-802_11e.cc: In member function ‘void Mac802_11e::dump(char*)’:
mac/802_11e/mac-802_11e.cc:302: warning: format ‘%x’ expects type ‘unsigned int’, but argument 3 has type ‘MacState*’
make: *** [mac/802_11e/mac-802_11e.o] Error 1

I tried searching for iostream.h & stream.h files, but they are not really present in my system, at least they didn't show up. Rather I found 2 IOSTREAM.h in microsoft visual... directory and some zstream.h , nam_stream.h files in the ns directory.

Can anyone tell me what should I do now?

Thank you very much for your time and patience.

for a start.

Does the readme want the tarball untar'd to a specific location?

sorry.

Thank you very much for your kind reply.
The readme did mention a specific location: it was ns-2.28 root directory.
My directory path is like below:
/home/shojaru/ns-allinone-2.28/ns-2.28/...

So I think the root directory is ns-2.28 , isn't it?

Actually after the unsuccessful patching, my ns2 also giving trouble. Now if I run any tcl script, it gives me message :
The program 'ns' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install host
bash: ns: command not found

I am quite at a loss, what should I do now
