Can anyone tell me how can i install ns 2.31 on fedora 20. Because when i run ns2.31 on fedora 20 it gives me errors

Maybe if you bothered to tell us WHAT the errors were, we could help you. We can't and won't guess.

* Probable read some of the numerous posts about ns2 / Fedora.

For all versions ns-allinone-2.26 .. 2.34, the install command is the same, like:
1) $ cd ns-allinone-2.31/
2) $ export CC=gcc34 CXX=g++34 && ./install

... You will of course have to install the compilers :
# yum install compat-gcc-34-c++

First, Fedora 8 is ANCIENT...it is TWELVE MAJOR VERSIONS behind, and should NOT be used for anything. You will NEVER find Fedora 8 for x64...because there WERE NO X64 CPU's when Fedora 8 was written. You're getting the error because you haven't installed the C compilers yet. Did you read/understand knudfl's reply about installing the compiler (the "yum" command you were given in post #3)????

i have installed fedora 20 x64 successfully and when i try to install ns 2.31 but the following error i encountered.

help me please !

pardon BUT

you installed FEDORA 20
and then THIS WORKED ????????????????????????????????????????????????????
there is NO WAY "in <censored the 4 letter word>!!!" that that Ubuntu/Debian command even came close to working

1)
fedora dose NOT use "sudo" nor is it set up
2)
fedora dose not use "apt-get" it uses "yum
you can NOT even install debians "apt-get "on fedora
3)
fedora DOSE NOT !!!!!!! use the ubuntu ".deb" naming scheme !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
as in Fedora DOSE NOT !!! use -dev !!!!!!

Fedora uses "-devel " for the development rpm's


4)
it is ALSO IMPOSSIBLE for fedora 20 to have outputed this !!!!!!!!!
you ARE NOT !!!! running fedora 20

I m running fedora. And I know fedora uses yum install commands to update all packages and for installation.i have installed all packages using below commands.
1. Download ns-allinone
2. Now you have to resolve some dependencies.
( i.) su
( ii.) yum install autoconf
( iii.) yum install automake
( iv.) yum install gcc-c++
( v.) yum install libX11-devel
( vi.) yum install xorg-x11-proto-devel
( vi.) yum install libXt-devel
( vi.) yum install libXmu-devel
3. Place downloaded file in home directory and type tar -xzvf ns-allinone-2.35.tar.gz
4.cd ns-allinone-2.35
5. Now ./install
./validate
I need help in patching cognitive radio in ns2

then why did you post those Ubuntu commands and Ubuntu output AS BEING from fedora ?

you can not use Debian commands on a redhat system
and a redhat system will not output debian output

you NEED to read the install instructions !!!

you have to install the OLD gcc 3.4 compatibility compiler
As stated in post 3 and in EVERY " how do i install ns2" thread on this forum

and part of that is this
the default compiler in fedora 20 ( gcc 4.8) is WAY too new to build ns2 code from 10 years ago . so you need to install a old compiler to build ns2

Post #9.
Please read http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/tags/crcn/
.. about CRCN.

And then install ns-allinone-2.31 for CRCN ...
Fedora : Post #5 here http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...rror-940388/#5
$ cd ns-allinone-2.31/ && tar xvf crcn-ns2.31.tar.gz
$ export CC=gcc34 CXX=g++34 && ./install
