hi,
i followed the below instructions for installing ns2.28 on ubuntu 0.04,
To install ns 2.28 and mobiwan 2.28 you should follow these steps

Download the following packages

ns-allinone-2.28.tar.gz
ns-2.28-gcc410.patch
ns-228-mobiwan-102.diff.gz

Type the following

$ tar zxvf ns-allinone-2.28.tar.gz
$ patch -p0 < ns-2.28-gcc410.patch
$ cd ns-allinone-2.28
$ ./install

the problem occurred is

likewin@likewin:~/ns-allinone-2.28$ ./install

http://mostafafouda.com/ns-2.html had the following suggestion:

Welcome to LQ. .. .. ..

NS-allinone-2.28: Ubuntu is not very friendly to old tcl tk otcl tclcl.
You can just use later versions : Links to ns-allinone-2.34 → →
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...failed-732164/
> Post # 10 , etc. : It's a ns228 thread.
And I used Ubuntu 10.04-64 Bits for the test of ns-allinone-2.28.


But there is also a ns-233-mobiwan-1.patch : for ns-allinone-2.33.
Very easy to use.

There is an issue with otcl-1.9. How to rectify it?

Post #4, @priya86mohanty : Welcome to LQ.


Which Linux OS are you using ? ?
http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/...Ask_a_Question
http://linuxsilo.net/docs/smart-questions_en.html
... Like CentOS5, Ubuntu 10.04 etc.


No issues with otcl, but you seem to use the wrong g++ / gcc compiler.
Must be one of the extra compilers for your OS, like gcc34, gcc-3.4.

.

I use Ubuntu 11.04. I removed the whole folder of ns-allinone-2.28 and tried re-installing. Followed the below procedure:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libxmu-dev
$ tar zxvf ns-allinone-2.28.tar.gz
$ patch -p0 < ns228-gcc410.patch
$ cd ns-allinone-2.28
$ ./install
Now at the prompt type
$ cd ~
$ gedit .bashrc

and included the following path:

# LD_LIBRARY_PATH
OTCL_LIB=~/ns-allinone-2.28/otcl-1.9
NS2_LIB=~/ns-allinone-2.28/lib
X11_LIB=/usr/X11R6/lib
USR_LOCAL_LIB=/usr/local/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$OTCL_LIB:$NS2_LIB:$X11_LIB:$USR_LOCAL_LIB

# TCL_LIBRARY
TCL_LIB=~/ns-allinone-2.28/tcl8.4.5/library
USR_LIB=/usr/lib
export TCL_LIBRARY=$TCL_LIB:$USR_LIB

# PATH

NS=~/ns-allinone-2.28/ns-2.28/
NAM=~/ns-allinone-2.28/nam-1.11/
PATH=$PATH:$XGRAPH:$NS:$NAM

I saved the .bashrc file and typed ./configure which landed me with the below error:

Please correct the problem by telling configure where otcl is
using the argument --with-otcl=/path/to/package
(perhaps after installing it),
or the package is not required, disable it with --with-otcl=no.

Can you please help me with this further?

#6.
OK, then please try using the gcc34-compat like the example here

#2 http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...11-a-902760/#2

About post # 6, and all the text added when the post was edited :

You will have to start from scratch, and use the right compiler !


Adding *PATH to .bashrc : Not required on Linux.
1) The binary 'ns' is hard coded to know the location of its libraries.
2) Nam : Copy a usable version of 'nam' to /usr/local/bin/
#4 http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...10-a-840509/#4

3) Xgraph : sudo apt-get install xgraph
..... ( No ns2 xgraph works.)

I could install gcc34-compact. I checked with the link that you gave. It is mentioned

32bits OS : cd ns-allinone-2.29/ && export CC=gcc34 CXX=g++34 && ./install

CC=gcc34 and CXX=g++34 has to be entered in the Makefile.in (in ns-2.28) is it?

When you do :
cd ns-allinone-2.28/ && export CC=gcc34 CXX=g++34 && ./install
.. then all the Makefile's will be created with this text :
CC = gcc34
CPP = g++34


The "&&" signs are used when you do more than one command, like :
First command : cd ns-allinone-2.28/
Second command : export CC=gcc34 CXX=g++34
Third command : ./install

.

I did as you have mentioned. But there still some problem. Please find the lines below after I typed the 1st, 2nd and 3rd command:

Why does it say "tcl8.3.2" when tcl8.4.5 is required for ns-2.28? And also it does not build otcl-1.9 like it builds tcl8.4.5. Please help me further.

#11.

Sorry, it appears that only gcc41 / g++41 works with ns-2.28 in Ubuntu 11.04.

Tcl is not part of the ns project. Please see www.Scriptics.com
to see if they have a fix for your platform.

Can you please le tme know the exact steps to be followed for ns-2.28 right from unzipping it till validating it??? !!!

Note: gcc41 and g++41 successfully installed.

I also checked the Makefile.in in ns-2.28, nam-1.11, tclcl-1.16, otcl-1.9... nowhere CC and CPP was replaced by gcc41 and g++41!!!

# 14.

OK, the confusion is that we have two patches "ns 2.28 gcc4**.patch".

The Makefile's are not recreated, unless you 'make clean'
in all directories with a Makefile.
And delete the Makefile when 'make clean' doesn't delete it.

So actually it's easier to start from scratch :
1) tar xvf ns-allinone-2.28.tar.gz
2) patch -p0 < ns228-gcc40.patch
3) patch -p0 < ns-2.28-gcc410.patch <Enter> <Enter> <Enter>
4) export CC=gcc41 CXX=g++41
5) cd ns-allinone-2.28/
6) ./install
7) cd ns-2.28/
8) ./validate ( Or 'make test' which also will run 'validate'.)

The validate result is better, when Ubuntu 10.04 is used, and when
later versions of tcl tk otcl tclcl are used. See post #3.
