ns2 - some validation tests failed
 

Dear all,

After many modifications, I managed to install ns2.28 , but some validation tests failed. I got the following message at the end of validation test:
validate overall report: some tests failed:
./test-all-simple ./test-all-tcp ./test-all-testReno ./test-all-newreno ./test-all-sack ./test-all-tcpOptions ./test-all-sack-full ./test-all-tcpVariants ./test-all-LimTransmit ./test-all-aimd ./test-all-greis ./test-all-rfc2581 ./test-all-sctp ./test-all-tcpHighspeed ./test-all-frto ./test-all-friendly ./test-all-srm ./test-all-realaudio ./test-all-ecn ./test-all-ecn-full ./test-all-quickstart ./test-all-hier-routing ./test-all-lan ./test-all-mcast ./test-all-vc ./test-all-mixmode ./test-all-red ./test-all-adaptive-red ./test-all-red-pd ./test-all-rio ./test-all-vq ./test-all-rem ./test-all-gk ./test-all-pi ./test-all-cbq ./test-all-schedule ./test-all-jobs ./test-all-intserv
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.

I have searched the mailing list for the problem, I found many mails about it, but no reply to the mails. Is it a very silly thing, that people don't bother to reply? I have no idea what to do now. I found something like reporting bug about this. I tried to run the test individually one after another, but that is too time consuming, it prompts for permission after every test and thus runs many test & opens a lot of xgraph window. The tests I run so far individually, agreed with the reference output.

Now I am wondering, should I report a bug about it, or should I hire a kid to run those failed 40 tests( which require hitting the ENTER key 1200 times,maybe ) , or what else should I do.

Thank you for your time and attention.

Hire a kid, I must admit that made me laugh.

With the number of tests it says have failed, it may be an idea to do a clean install again. Of course, try using the fix it suggests for BSD systems, see what happens then

Please tell, which Linux, you are using.
Linux, name, version ( like Ubuntu 9.04, Fedora 10 ...)

And you must have a very good reason to use ns-2.28 ?
The current version is 2.33 .

http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/...Ask_a_Question
http://linuxsilo.net/docs/smart-questions_en.html
.....
.....

I am sorry. I use Ubuntu 9.04.

I have installed ns2.33 earlier,which doesn't contain the 802.11e mac.I want to simulate 802.11e network and then modify 802.11e, but the only one I have found so far is the 802.11e patch from TKN , which is applicable to ns2.28 only. I asked before some support person about the compatibility of the patch with ns2.33. But all that I have found is any patch is only applicable to the specific release it was created for. Other releases might not be compatible and no support is available for that purpose.

I am struggling with this thing for months, but no luck. I still could not manage to run 802.11e . I know this forum is not meant for ns2 problems, but I am asking questions after questions everywhere, but only this forum is responsive to the questions. I post questions in the hope that maybe some ns2 expert will see the question and be kind enough to reply.


I really do search a lot in Google and the forums before posting the questions, I only try to post when I cannot find the exact similar solution. I don't mean to violate any forum regulation, since this is the only place where I can get solution, if there is any.
I know I am posting too many threads, I am sorry about that.

I have same problem, if u get a result, tell me pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase!

@ sharafi12, posts # 6-7 : Welcome to LQ. ... :) ..

Very simple : Just use ns-allinone-2.28 .
No problem having several ns2 installs at the same time.

Required : Please tell, which Linux, you are using.
... Like Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid, Fedora 13, CentOS5 etc. etc.

Thanks 4 ur response.I am using Fedora10.

Fedora 10...13 , ns-allinone-2.28
 

Same well tested Ubuntu method as ns-allinone-2.27, using some "ns-allinone-2.34 files".
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...10-a-782356/#3
'ns-allinone-2.34/' is required too.
EDIT : Fedora, CentOS : Please see post # 55.

# yum install compat-gcc-34-c++ libX11-devel libXext-devel libXau-devel \

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

And a reasonable "validation".
"" validate overall report: some tests failed:
./test-all-newreno ./test-all-tcpHighspeed ./test-all-red ./test-all-cbq ./test-all-xcp "".

Fedora 12 , ns-allinone-2.28
 

A better result was achieved, using the 'ns228-gcc40.patch'.
cd <folder-with ns-allinone-2.28/>
patch -p0 < ns228-gcc40.patch

Still with the g++34 for ns-allinone-2.28/ns-2.28/.
And same method like post # 10.
... Which is more like other ns2 versions.

Got it
 

Many Thanks. It was very useful. I have installed ns-allinone-2.28 on Fedora 10 successfully. Next I'll try to setup IEEE802.11e for the ns-2.

ns2.28 installation
 

Hi all,

I need to install ns2.28 on fedora (either 6 or 10). for those run ns2.28 successfully, could you please share with me your experience in installing and validating ns2.28 so i do it the right way. I have tried to install it on RedHat 5 previously but i got errors.

Thank you in advance.

@ NewStar, post # 13 : Welcome to LQ.

Using the procedure in posts #10, #11 : No errors RH EL5, CentOS5, SL55.

EL 5 is based on Fedora 6 : Use the same procedure for Fedora 6.

Fedora 10 is included, when you read posts #10, #11.
..

The perfect 'validate report' : see post #11. ( Fedora 12.)
..


Fedora 10 validate , no patching with 'ns228-gcc40.patch' :
validate overall report: some tests failed:
./test-all-newreno ./test-all-tcpHighspeed ./test-all-red ./test-all-cbq ./test-all-xcp

Fedora 10, the patch is included : 'patch -p0 < ns228-gcc40.patch
No improvement like in Fedora 12. Same result as above.
..

on redhat 5
 

Hi knudfl... Thank you for the welcoming and answering.

Below is the errors i got when i did step 1. I am trying it on RedHat 5.

Hi,

I am following these steps to install ns2.28 in fedora 10. However when it reaches to : cd ../tk8.4.18/
i get this message:
bash : cd: tk8.4.18/: No Such file or directory

Thanks a lot for your help.

# 17. Well, either you have no tk8.4.18/ .
Or you are in the wrong location.
Suggest : Use the 'ls' command to tell, what you have.
And the 'pwd' command to tell, where you are.
The two period ( .. ) means you go one level up.

Other comments ..
Start with the ns228-gcc40.patch, outside ns-allinone-2.28/ :
'patch -p0 < ns228-gcc40.patch'
( Hit <Enter> twice until it exits.)

And move the patch tk-8.4-lastevent.patch into tk8.4.18/

The file list in ns-allinone-2.28/ should be :
back-nam-1.11
back-otcl-1.9
back-tcl8.4.5
back-tclcl-1.16
back-tk8.4.5

Hi, Knudfl
Thank you for your continuing helpful comments.. I have installed ns-allinone-2.28 beside ns-34 on fedora 10.. ns-2.28 is working well, but the nam doesn't work.
$ nam
bash: nam: command not found
-----Also

$ ns simple.tcl
210
0.0037499999999999999
running nam...
ns: finish: couldn't execute "nam": no such file or directory
while executing
"exec nam out.nam &"
(procedure "finish" line 8)
invoked from within
"finish"

could you plz tell me what's the problem here..
Many thanks

Post # 22, @ altamimi : Welcome to LQ.

Any 'nam' can be used ( It is a separate application )
cd ns-allinone-2.34/nam-1.14/
su
make install
Which will copy one file = 'nam' to /usr/local/bin/
Then you will have nam in your path.

..

NAM error
 

Hi Knudfl,

I have installed ns-allinone-2.28 on fedora 11... i also have the problem with NAM like post #22.
I tried to fix this error with your advice in post #23 but it had the error like this:

[nhk@localhost nam-1.14]$ make install
/usr/bin/install -c -m 755 nam /usr/local/bin
/usr/bin/install: cannot stat `nam': No such file or directory
make: *** [install] Error 1

Please help me to fix this error.
Thank you so much!

@astroboy123, post # 24 : Any 'nam' can be used.
If you want a nam "from ns-allinone-2.28" :
Edit the ns-allinone-2.28/nam-1.11/Makefile, lines 44-45 to
CC = gcc34
CPP = g++34
... And : cd ns-allinone-2.28/nam-1.11/ && make clean && make

Or use "another binary nam" for /usr/local/bin/ :
32bits https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B7S25...Piyxo&hl=en_US
64bits https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B7S25...jzIcL&hl=en_US

..

Thank you for your help,Knudfl!!!

But now i have another error:

/home/nhk/ns-allinone-2.28/tclcl-1.16/tclcl-config.h:37:1: warning: this is the location of the previous definition
make: *** No rule to make target `VERSION', needed by `gen/version.c'. Stop.
Ns make failed!
See http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/ns-problems.html for problems.

I thinh i have to create the file "version.c" in /tclcl-1.16/gen but i don't know the code for this file....

Can you help me once more time?

Thank you.

Post # 25 :
The text in "gen/version.c" asks for a file by name VERSION.
( ns-allinone-2.28/ns-2.28/VERSION , ns-allinone-2.28/nam-1.11/VERSION ).

@kshitiz, post #29.
Easier to manage, when you have the files in your /home/<name>/.

Fedora / CentOS 5.x :
cd /home/kshitiz/tmp/ && tar xvf ns-allinone-2.28.tar.gz &&
patch -p0 < ns228-gcc40.patch ( See post #11 )
&& cd ns-allinone-2.28/tk8.4.5/ &&
wget ftp://gentoo.inode.at/portage/dev-la...astevent.patch
&& patch -p0 < tk-8.4-lastevent.patch && cd ../ &&
export CC=gcc34 CXX=g++34 && ./install

( Required : # yum install compat-gcc-34-c++ ).

..

Hi, im very noob to this form. Im installing ns2.28 on fedora 12 with gcc 4.4.4. I did exactly what u suggested.

patch -p1 < ns228-gcc40.patch under ns-allinone2.28/ && patch -p0 < tk-8.4-lastevent.patch under tk-8.4.5/ Also modified makein file. But still got errors.

tclcl-1.16 make failed! Exiting ... No difference. :( Help pls.

#31, @kh.bagi.

The "install command" is : 'export CC=gcc34 CXX=g++34 && ./install'.
Is that what you did ? ?


The export command is temporary. Will reset to default, when you exit the terminal.

..

Thank you for ur reply. Actually i didnt 'export CC=gcc34 CXX=g++34 && ./install'. So here is what i tried today.

1.cd ns-allinone-2.28/patch -p1 < ns228-gcc40.patch(somehow patch -p0 < ns228-gcc40.patch command didnt work. dont know why. so changed it to p1 instead of p0)

2.cd ns-allinone-2.28/tk8.4.5/patch -p0 < tk-8.4-lastevent.patch

3.Didnt change "/ns-allinone-2.28/ns-2.28/makefile.in" this file

4.cd /ns-allinone-2.28/export CC=gcc34 CXX=g++34 && ./install

So installation worked. But i got error with validation as following:
alidate overall report: some tests failed:
./test-all-newreno ./test-all-red
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.

So i manually validate cd/tcl/test/ ./test-all-newreno and ./test-all-red. after this, i tried to validate whole ns2 and got same error above. thanks

individual validation prompts for permission after every test and thus runs many test & opens a lot of xgraph window. I just pressed ENTER key until its finished

#34, #35.
That's the expected result. ( Or better than expected.) : Read post # 11.

Nothing will be different by running some individual tests.

..

Thank you. im running ns2, but still dont know whether the errors would come up. Anyway , thank you again.

Hi knudfl...
can i do same steeps on post#10 to install ns-2.28 under fedora core 7

Post # 37, @jommas : Welcome to LQ.

The procedure in post #10, and post #11 should do
for Fedora 6 .... Fedora 16.

thansssss alot for quick ans.

# 37, @jommas

I'd just remembered this :
In Fedora 7 you should be able to use only the patch ns228-gcc40.patch,
and omit the complicated (Ubuntu / Debian) method in post #10.

Hi knudfl >>> i did this in my fedora 7 to install ns-2.28

From post #10:

THin installed the ns2 and i get this in the end of the installation:

Then put the path

gedit ~/.bashrc

When i type ns i get "%"
but nam i get "command not found"
i did like post #23 but i get error like post #24
and i tried post #25 i get :
i have:
nam-1.11 contain VERSION file with code "1.11"
and also ns-2.28 contain VERSION file with code 2.28

i need your suggeestion.....

# 41. See posts #11 and #37.
Better start from scratch with a new unpacked ns-allinone-2.28.tar.gz :

Fedora 6-7-8 etc., building ns-allinone-2.28 :

cd <folder-with ns-allinone-2.28/> && patch -p0 < ns228-gcc40.patch
&& cd ns-allinone-2.28/ && export CC=gcc34 CXX=g++34 && ./install


Nam is not important, is a separate application. Any nam can be used.
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B7S...YzNmY4NTI1ZDQ0
> > nam-1.14-fc6.el5.tar.gz > Unpack, and : # cp nam /usr/local/bin/

.

me again...

i did the patch in post #42
and i get this:

#43
Wrong. The text in #42 says : cd <folder-with ns-allinone-2.28/,
i.e. the parent directory for ns-allinone-2.28/ .
That's where you must do the patch command.


And : root should not be used. Please log in as unprivileged user,
and use like /home/<user-name>/ns2/ for your ns-allinone build.
And do all commands as <user>, not root.

..

i did the patch o.k and ns-2, in the end of installation i get:

The validate process :

#45
Perfect. That's the expected result. See post #11.

Yes it work , kndufl you are the best ... Thank you

knudfl im very sory i ask a lot of qustions...
this time new case
im tried to install ieee802.11e patch , (i uploaded just rename and delet .txt)

and i followed the installation steps in readme file
but: in step 7,8 and 9
when im try to open the files (wireless-phy.h , wireless-phy.cc and packet.h) i get: Couldn't disply


example for wireless-phy.h file
what you think

# 48
Which command are you using ? ?

How to install NS2 with Ubuntu 10.04 By Noor Zaman

This manual will work for NS2 allinone-2.34 with Ubuntu 10.4. As Ubuntus new version 10.04 needs following packages before any further installation, otherwise it will not work with it.
Please follow the following steps:

1. Install necessary tools for building:

sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libxmu-dev gcc-4.3

2. It turns out that otcl does not like the version of gcc installed by default in Lucid. So go ahead and change ns-allinone-2.34/otcl-1.13/Makefile.in. Find the line that says:

CC= @CC@
and change it to:
CC= gcc-4.3
3. Now follow the following steps for installation of nsallinone 2.34 and it will work with your machine. (copy ns-allinone-2.34.tar.gz)

Suppose that there is "ns-allinone-2.33.tar.gz" in current directory (e.g. "~/" for me is "/home/noor").
All steps are done in Terminal, so open a terminal in Accessories/Terminal.To extract the file:
tar xvfz ./ns-allinone-2.33.tar.gz


4. Change your directory within terminal as following way

$ cd /home/noor$ cd /home/noor/ns-allinone-2.34

5. Download & install some packages from repository if needed (Now its optional)

$ sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libxmu-dev
6. Install the ns2

$ cd ns-allinone-2.34
$ ./install
7. Edit some paths

$ gedit ~/.bashrc
8. Put these lines on that file in the last. Off course, you might change /home/noor for it depends on where you extract ns-allinone-2.34.tar.

# LD_LIBRARY_PATHOTCL_LIB=/home/noor/ns-allinone-2.34/otcl-1.13NS2_LIB=/home/noor/ns-allinone-2.34/libX11_LIB=/usr/X11R6/libUSR_LOCAL_LIB=/usr/local/libexport LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$OTCL_LIB:$NS2_LIB:$X11_LIB:$USR_LOCAL_LIB# TCL_LIBRARYTCL_LIB=/home/noor/ns-allinone-2.34/tcl8.4.18/libraryUSR_LIB=/usr/libexport TCL_LIBRARY=$TCL_LIB:$USR_LIB# PATHXGRAPH=/home/noor/ns-allinone-2.34/bin:/home/noor/ns-allinone-2.34/tcl8.4.18/unix:/home/noor/ns-allinone-2.34/tk8.4.18/unix:/home/noor/ns-allinone-2.34/xgraph-12.1/NS=/home/noor/ns-allinone-2.34/ns-2.34/NAM=/home/noor/ns-allinone-2.34/nam-1.13/export PATH=$PATH:$XGRAPH:$NS:$NAM

9. Validate it (take very long time compare to install process)
$ cd ns-2.33$ ./validate

10. Let it take effect immediately

$ source ~/.bashrc

11. Try to run it as following way, by just typing ns with terminal

$ ns
12. If the installation is successful, then you will be able to see % at the command prompt. Type following command to exit
% exit

13. Good luck and please keep remember me in your prays(Thanks in advance). Noor Zaman, King Faisal University, Saudi Arabia.
