hi all
am having a problem with the rumor routing module in NS2
after i successfully installed the ns-allinone-2.34 software on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS the new module that i added succesfully runs and exits unexpectedly. can anyone using a working ns2 try the module on his platform to see wether it is my system or not. i tried all kind of export gcc41 and stuff, change the computer but still the same. i am clueless.
any help would be appreciated though.

PS: the module was working before and stopped working sometimes ago -

Ubuntu 12.04 isn't entirely ns2 friendly.
And you have probably done some package updates since you have built "rumor-ns234".
Updates that may prevent an executable ns working with the OS it was built on.

About "rumor.tar.gz.txt" : At least one edited file is missing :
* ns-2.34/common/packet.h, etc. etc.? ns-2.34/tcl/lib/ns-lib.tcl ?

* Please attach all edited files, not included in "rumor.tar.gz.txt".
Then I will find a more suitable OS ...
and build an executable "ns-rumor" that you can use with Ubuntu 12.04.

Which rumor tcl examples have you found ?

hi thanks for the reply, i attached the other files with a tcl script i use,
the makefile is not included, but to add a new module we need to add these lines after this in the makefile.in and re-run configure.

OBJ_CC = \
rumor/rumor.o rumor/rumor_rtable.o rumor/rumor_rqueue.o \

sorry i forgot to attached the files . herewidth
thanks

# 3 : ns-2.35 would only make things worse. Besides that :
You can have as many versions of ns-allinone-2.xx as you want,
installed at the same time.
But do not add any *PATH text to .bashrc! Never required when it's your computer.

# 3 : Ref. ""rumor/rumor.o rumor/rumor_rtable.o rumor/rumor_rqueue.o \"".
Well, I added the objects to Makefile.in yesterday, at end of section "OBJ_CC" :
... Then it's :
1) $ cd ns-allinone-2.34/ && tar xvf rumor-ns234-files-2010.tar.gz
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7S...it?usp=sharing
2) $ export CC=gcc41 CXX=g++41 && ./install
... and a stable "ns-rumor" was created (with Ubuntu 10.10, for best result.)
A Rumor package for all Ubuntu 10*..13*, rumor-ns-2.34-ubuntu10_i386.deb, 4.4 MB:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7S...it?usp=sharing

"rumor-ns-2.34-ubuntu10_i386.deb" provides /usr/local/bin/ns-rumor
.. Works stable, Ubuntu 12.04 : $ ns-rumor <file>.tcl

Hi knudfl
do you suggest that i use the version of ubuntu 10.10 And
A new module of rumor? Does it mean that the one i sent
to you did not work by your side as well? i'Am trying to make sens of it since from the rumor code i had i created my own module With a localisation scheme that was working and has stopped at the same time with that rumor code. And i am afraid
Downloading another rumor code wont help much as
the important one is the one i created myself: the rumor
just served for performance comparison.

# 6 .
Why ? Install the rumor package.deb with your `Package Installer', and you are going.
Ubuntu 10.10 is old and unsupported, but makes god ns2 results: 2.26 ..2.34 .


Please do not use text speak ..

""Write in clear, grammatical, correctly-spelled language"".

The code works OK, as you can try with $ ns-rumor wrls-rumor-a30node.tcl
.. Which also means that the 'ns' you originally created was OK,
until you updated Ubuntu 12.04 and got new system libraries.

sorry for that i was writting from my smartphone reason why.

then how can i avoid to update the version that i have, i mean even if i reinstall ubuntu 12.04 lTS from scratch i still need to do "sudo apt-get install update" to get the update and the other procedures that install the libraries, and i got stuck the same way as i dont know which update is creating this ! do you know how i can bypass this? by only installing the required system libraries?

# 8.

$ sudo apt-get update
.. will not update packages.
Will only refresh the package list : "Available packages".

Upgrading packages : No reason to avoid that.
Package updates are done to keep the OS safe.

About ns2 builds :
No need to do that, as most protocols are available as packages.deb .
If you want to edit ns2 c++ code and build the stuff yourself,
the old unsupported Ubuntu 10.10 is usable.
But : Ubuntu 10.10 is not recommended to be used as your main OS !

Okay!
thanks for the support, i will try all that and give the feedback when i'am done.

one more thing please! can these command be left over as well?
1) $ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade*
2) $ sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libxmu-dev

# 10 .

The package update command is : $ sudo apt-get upgrade

The ns2 prerequisites are :
$ sudo apt-get install g++ autoconf automake make patch libtool libxmu-dev xgraph

'build-essential' will install dpkg-dev, which is only required for building .deb packages.

i just installed the "rumor-ns-2.34-ubuntu10_i386.deb " that you created. when i run it am having the same issue, from the NAM and the TRACE file there is no exchange of packet.
initially from the NAM you could see the cunsumption of energy shown by a change of the color of the sensor nodes. and it seems to run the TCL in half i mean i have 30 nodes and my awk script gives me the energy left in the network at each node and the total, but when i tried it it gave me this:
which is actually wrong i dont know if by your side the nam was showing perfectely, if so then i guess i have to re-start all install including my ubuntu version from scratch and see.

i successfully installed ns-2.34 as indicated in your post #5 , but in the terminal when i type ns, it is teling me that ns is not installed.
do i have to be in a specific directory for ns to work now? i use to add the path to the bashrc to make my ns2 work.

# 13 .

Install ns :

$ cd ns-allinone-2.34/ns-2.34/ && sudo make install

hi
was trying to rebuild my os from scratch and a fresh ns2, but am having this error is the g++compat41 packet causing this? or i lack some libraries?

====================
My bad have to do sudo dpkg -i gcc41-compat-4.1.2-ubuntu1210_i386.deb g++41-compat-4.1.2_i386.deb
