Validation failed in NS2.34 in ubuntu 10.04 64-bit

I have just installed NS2.34 in my Ubutun 10.04.

I have installed it successfully, but I got some failures in validation.

validate overall report: all portable tests passed but
some non-portable tests failed:
./test-all-srm ./test-all-smac-multihop ./test-all-hier-routing ./test-all-algo-routing ./test-all-mcast ./test-all-vc ./test-all-session ./test-all-mixmode ./test-all-webcache ./test-all-mcache ./test-all-plm ./test-all-wireless-tdma

I read the post of [SOLVED] Validation failed in NS2.34 in ubuntu 10.04 remix
and followed the steps there.

But, the same problem remains.

After read through a few other posts, I think the problem may be due to my 64-bit operating system.

Does anyone here knows the ways to get around this validation problem?

Thanks!

Welcome to LQ.

For a perfect 'validate' : use a 32bits Linux OS.
But then again, you may never experince any problems, ref. "Note" :

Code:

validate overall report: all portable tests passed but

some non-portable tests failed:

    ./test-all-srm ./test-all-smac-multihop ./test-all-hier-routing ./test-all-algo-routing 

./test-all-mcast ./test-all-vc ./test-all-session ./test-all-mixmode ./test-all-webcache 

./test-all-mcache ./test-all-plm ./test-all-wireless-tdma

to re-run a specific test, cd tcl/test; ./test-all-TEST-NAME



Note that the non-portable test list includes files that are known to 

pass on Linux x86 machines but that are known to have some portability 

problems to other platforms or operating systems.  Failure of one of these tests 

does not necessarily mean that one will encounter a problem in your simulations, 

but that one must be careful of using that specific model on the system

on which the validate was run.

The same issue was discussed here ...

Thank you for the quick reply.

I think I may leave it like this. The simulations I'm going to work on is not related to the failed validation cases.
