Hi,

This is Chithra. My research is based on 802.11e protocol. I use ns2.34 on ubuntu 10.04 (gcc-4.3) version. I am looking for 802.11e patch. I couldn't find any patch file for ns2.34.

so i tried installing the patch from he following links.
http://www.tkn.tu-berlin.de/research/802.11e_ns2/
http://www.telematica.polito.it/casetti/802.11e/
that also went in vain. either tcl or tclcl make getting failed. is this problem due to gcc version or ubuntu? What should i do now? I have been searching for solution since long time. Kindly help me friends. your help is highly appreciated.. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to LQ.

Your first link is about ns-2.28 : No problems having more than one
version of ns-allinone-2.xx present in /home/<user-name>/<ns2-dir>/
More info, LQ Search → Keyword = ns-allinone
Example http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...failed-732164/
> > Posts #10 #11.

The second link is a patch for ns-allinone-2.1b9a, also used for some
other patches. The version ns-allinone-2.1b9a-gcc32.tar.gz will work.
The possible issues are with the very old patch.

..

Hello, Thanks for you quick reply..

I tried to execute the command from the root as mentioned. i have got the following message..

root@ubuntu:~/ns-allinone-2.28# yum install compat-gcc-34-c++ libX11-devel libXext-devel libXau-devel libXmu-devel xorg-x11-proto-devel gcc-c++ make automake autoconf libtool

Yes, definitely. You are using Ubuntu ? Or ? The install command is not yum.
And the Fedora package names cannot be used.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSoftware

If you had followed the link
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...failed-732164/
... then you will see, it points to
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...10-a-782356/#3
sudo apt-get install g++ automake autoconf libtool \
libx11-dev libxmu-dev libxmu-headers libxt-dev

Adding 'hardy' to /etc/apt/sources.list, post #5 here
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...10-a-867404/#5
Then you can do : sudo apt-get install g++-3.4 : required for ns-2.28.

The install command : 'export CC=gcc-3.4 CXX=g++-3.4 && ./install'
... should work on Ubuntu.

Please do not build ns-allinone-2.28 as root. Unless you want trouble.
The build location is /home/<name>/<ns2-folder>/ns-allinone-2.28/
... So all commands can be done as 'unpriviliged user'.

Hi,

Thank you very much for your clarification. I have made the required changes as u mentioned, except the following:

Add 'hardy' to /etc/apt/sources.list
Code:
deb http://76.73.4.58/ubuntu/ hardy-updates main
deb http://76.73.4.58/ubuntu/ hardy universe
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-security main
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-security universe

I don't know in which place i have to add this.. because i couldn't find the path "/etc/apt/sources.list" anywhere..
Kindly guide me..

Adding 'hardy' to /etc/apt/sources.list : sources.list is a text file.


In a terminal window do : sudo gedit /etc/apt/sou<TAB> <ENTER>
.. and bash completion will bring you to sources.list and display it in gedit.

Then you can copy / paste the four lines to be added ..
..

Thanks for your patience for clarifying my doubts.
After performing the above mentioned steps, it throws the following error when i try to install:

checking system version (for dynamic loading)... ./configure: 1: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
tcl8.3.2 configuration failed! Exiting ...
Tcl is not part of the ns project. Please see www.Scriptics.com
to see if they have a fix for your platform.

KIndly let me know how can i resolve this issue.
Thank you..

OK, then to the build instructions for ns-allinone-2.28 on Ubuntu :

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...led-732164/#10
> > post # 10

And like Fedora, you may get a slightly better result with 'ns228-gcc40.patch'.
That's post # 11. But I don't remember.

Hello,

I have been trying to use ns2.27 (on ubuntu 9.10) to work on hcca patch for my research. I am following post#4 for the installation. and am encountering problem when i try to install the gcc++-3.3 package.

Firstly, i tried : sudo apt-get install g++-3.3
i got the following msg,
chithra@ubuntu:~/ns-allinone-2.27$ sudo apt-get install g++-3.3
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package g++-3.3

Secondly, i executed the following command in the terminal
sudo dpkg -i \
cpp-3.3_3.3.6-15ubuntu4_i386.deb g++-3.3_3.3.6-15ubuntu4_i386.deb \

libstdc++5-3.3-dev_3.3.6-15ubuntu4_i386.deb

i got the following error,

Either way I couldn't install the g++-3.3 package. Can you please tell me where am going wrong?? Kindly assist me to rectify this. Looking forward for your inputs.

Thanks!

Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic has been unsupported for some time.
Some repositories can still be used.
But to be sure, you can change the URL in /etc/apt/sources.list
to the "old archive" ( All 'karmic' lines ) :
http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/


About gcc-3.3, g++-3.3 : Probably remove what's installed,
and then use packages from hardy-updates only: All 5 packages.
( http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy-updates/g++-3.3 )

..

Hello,

Thank you so much for your timely reply!
Now I have completed till this step,
ln -s ../tcl8.4.18/generic/tclInt.h
ln -s ../tcl8.4.18/generic/tclIntDecls.h
(followed post#3 in this http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...10-a-782356/#3)

And I have downloaded the following patches "tk-8.4-lastevent.patch" & "otcl-113-configure.in.patch" in ns-allinone-2.27 folder for now.You have mentioned "Apply the tk-8.4-lastevent.patch in tk8.4.14." in that post, but i couldn't locate tk8.4.14 anywhere in the ns-allinone-2.27 folder.

And also I just wanna make sure whether following are the only steps left out before i run ./install??
for tk => cp tk-8.4-lastevent.patch ns-allinone-2.27/tk8.4.18/
cd ns-allinone-2.27/tk8.4.18/
patch -p0 < tk-8.4-lastevent.patch

for otcl =>patch -p1 < otcl-113-configure.in.patch


If am missing something, please assist me.. LOoking forward for your reply!
Once again thanks for your time and consideration

Thank you!

May be you forgot a link to tcl8.4.14 like described in
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...10-a-782356/#3

And by the way, Ubuntu 9.10 is not required.
Ubuntu 10.04 (10.10) will also make a perfect result.

.

Thanks for your support!

So do you mean that, I can install ns2.27 on ubuntu 10.04 / 10.10 would go well? And if yes, should i follow the same instructions in this link http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...10-a-782356/#3 ?

also, can i do the hcca patch on ubuntu 10.04 version? will there be any compatibility issues?
Kindly let me know your suggestions!

Thanks

AFAIK there is no difference, if using 10.04 or 10.10
( 10.10 : Requires manual install of the g++-3.3 / gcc-3.3 packages. From hardy-updates.)
Remark : Should be a 32bitsOS for best result.
Ns2 is not made to work fully on a 64bits OS.


( Ubuntu 11.04 : Difficult to use. 11.10 : Not usable.)

..

Hello,

As you mentioned in the previous post, I tried installing ns2.27 on ubuntu10.04 version. I followed the same instructions (http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...10-a-782356/#3). In that link, I presume that I have installed g++-3.3 and the other steps correctly.


Am trying to apply the below patches. Following are the response at the terminal:

>Apply the tk-8.4-lastevent.patch in tk8.4.14.
>Apply the otcl-113-configure.in.patch in otcl-1.13. (it says HUNK failed at this point)
