Hello all,
I am getting problem while installing ns allinone 2.34 on ubuntu 9.10.
I am getting following error while building otcl-1.13

otcl.o: In function `Otcl_Init':
/usr/src/ns-allinone-2.34/otcl-1.13/otcl.c:2284: undefined reference to `__stack_chk_fail_local'
ld: libotcl.so: hidden symbol `__stack_chk_fail_local' isn't defined
ld: final link failed: Nonrepresentable section on output
make: *** [libotcl.so] Error 1
otcl-1.13 make failed! Exiting ...

Plz tell the solution.Waiting for reply
Thank you all.

Look into http://nsnam.isi.edu/nsnam/index.php/User_Information, Ubuntu installation guide. In short

Quote:

This error is because the linker being used is "ld -shared" instead of "gcc -shared". If you edit one line in otcl-1.13/configure, and rerun install, it should work:

--- configure.orig 2009-11-02 12:14:52.556167945 -0800
+++ configure 2009-11-02 12:17:28.966706099 -0800

hi,thank y for reply.I edit line SHLIB_LD="gcc -shared".But still problem persist.I made changes in both configure & configure.in file.

Changes made are as follows:
;;
Linux*)
SHLIB_CFLAGS="-fpic"
SHLIB_LD="gcc -shared"
SHLIB_SUFFIX=".so"
DL_LIBS="-ldl"
SHLD_FLAGS=""
Is there any other correction is required.
