problem while installing ns3.6
 

hi all
actually during the installation of ns 3.6,
with the following command
./waf -d debug configure

i get some components not found
specially pybindgen
i have downloaded it
but cant install it and bind it with ns
guys i m a beginner
pls help

nothing at all to do with networking. Moved to Linux - Newbie.

Network simulator ns3 ..
 

ns3.6 : http://www.nsnam.org/ > > ns-allinone-3.6.tar.bz2
The install ..
http://www.nsnam.org/wiki/index.php/Installation
.. where I don't see any command ' ./waf -d debug configure '
cd ns-allinone-3.6/ns-3.6
'./waf --help' : no './waf -d debug configure' ? ?
( -d could be an old obsolete option ? ).

Valid commands seems to be, examples :
'./waf --build-profile=debug'
'./waf configure --build-profile=debug'
'./waf configure --with-pybindgen=../pybindgen-0.12.0.703/pybindgen/'
'./waf configure --with-pybindgen=../pybindgen-0.12.0.703/pybindgen/ \
--build-profile=debug'

*
* But then again : the above is not the recommended install metod.
* Go to the top directory ( ns-allinone-3.6/ ) and do :
* ' python build.py '
*
.....
.....

And "pybindgen-0.12.0.703" is part of ns-allinone-3.6 .
Please read the file 'README' ..
QUOTE : ""You can simply recursively copy the entire pybindgen
folder into Python's site-packages directory, and that's it!""

.. Example, Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic ..
sudo cp -a \
ns-allinone-3.6/pybindgen-0.12.0.703/pybindgen/ /usr/lib/python2.6/

i tried to run the programmes given it the examples folder
the programmes like wifi-adhoc.cc is ruuning
but i am unable to understand what exactly the output is.
i get string of some numbers in the command window
what does it represent?

and what exactly the programme is about?
please help

Building samples, examples ..
1) cd ns-allinone-3.6/ns-3.6/
./waf configure --help
... to know all options : Example =
--enable-examples : "Build the ns-3 examples and samples".

1a) And if you want to enable GSL, the 'GNU Scientific Library' ,
and sqlite :
sudo apt-get install libgsl0-dev libsqlite3-dev

2) ./waf configure \
--enable-examples --with-pybindgen=../pybindgen-0.12.0.703/pybindgen
→ → will build : ns-3.6/build/debug/examples .. and samples/

And / or : 2a)
./waf configure --enable-examples --build-profile=optimized \
--with-pybindgen=../pybindgen-0.12.0.703/pybindgen
→ → will build : ns-3.6/build/optimized/examples/.. and samples/
and a lot of : build/optimized/bindings/python/

Actually both configure lines can be used to have both versions,
there may be a difference in "debug/" and "optimized/" ? ?
Just run "./waf build" twice, after each "./waf configure" :
3) ./waf build
But I don't know the exact purpose of the above examples/samples.
.....
.....
4) Running some examples : cd ns-allinone-3.6/ns-3.6/
./waf --pyrun examples/wireless/mixed-wireless.py

4a) ./waf --run examples/wireless/mixed-wireless
./waf --run examples/wireless/wifi-simple-adhoc

etc. etc.

.....

use the numbers to create a plot of time versus packets
