Re #15.

When you have done 'sudo ./install', you will have to delete the aquasim folder.
`sudo' is for administrative tasks, like 'make install', 'cp ns* /usr/local/bin/.
I.e. please no ns2 commands with sudo.

You are supposed to build all ns2 in /home/<user-name>/<ns2-folder>/.
I.e i.e. no sudo commands are required.

First thing to do :
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install g++ autoconf libtool libxmu-dev

Next : Install the compilers for ns-allinone-2.30 :
compat-gcc34_3.4.6-ubuntu10_i386.deb
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7S...ew?usp=sharing
compat-g++34_3.4.6-ubuntu10_i386.deb
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7S...ew?usp=sharing
.. Download the two packages, and install them.

Aqua-Sim : cd <aquasim>/
$ tar xvf Aqua-Sim-1.0.tgz
$ export CC=gcc34 CXX=g++34 && ./install
... etc. etc.

Also I have this problem :

when I use "$ sudo apt-get install libxmu-dev build-essential autoconf automake"


Breaks: gvfs (< 1.8) but 1.6.4-0ubuntu1 is to be installed
libpango1.0-0 : Breaks: plymouth (< 0.8.2-2ubuntu19) but 0.8.2-2ubuntu5 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

Re #17.

You forgot $ sudo apt-get update

This will do for the package install :
$ sudo apt-get install g++ autoconf libtool libxmu-dev
I.e. "build-essential" installs g++, autoconf, + some packages that you will never need.
https://packages.debian.org/squeeze/build-essential
>>> "If you do not plan to build Debian packages, you don't need this package."

could you please help me step by step

I did that another problem is arise :

configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables.
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.

Re #20.

? Are you sure that you are using the 32bits Ubuntu 10.10 ?
( ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso )
$ uname -m


And are you sure the gcc34 / g++34 packages are installed ?
$ which gcc34
$ which g++34

Note : I tested all the above + an Aqua-Sim build yesterday : No issues.


-

yes I am sure ... but i think that the version is release ... if not ... could you please give the steps (step by step).

thank you very much

Re #22 : Please do not quote entire posts. A "one word reference" will do.

Repeat : You will have to show the replies from these three commands :
$ uname -m
$ which gcc34
$ which g++34


Steps for what ? The compat-gcc packages ? The build of aquasim ?

Dear there,

Still having the same problem ... when I run uwan-mac-random protocol ..... it shows that

$ ns uwan-mac-random.tcl
the start time is 0.001
num_nodes is set 8
INITIALIZE THE LIST xListHead
+++++++AFTER ANNOUNCE++++++++++++++
starting Simulation...
SORTING LISTS ...DONE!
Segmentation fault (core dumped)


What does Segmentation fault (core dumped) means?

Thanks

Re #24.

You will still have to show the replies from these three commands :
$ uname -m
$ which gcc34
$ which g++34

Hello knudfl,

Yes, here we are /

mralfouzan@mralfouzan-VGN-Z12MN-B:~$ uname -m
i686


mralfouzan@mralfouzan-VGN-Z12MN-B:~$ which gcc34
/usr/bin/gcc34


mralfouzan@mralfouzan-VGN-Z12MN-B:~$ which g++34
/usr/bin/g++34

Thanks

Re #24.

? Are you quite sure your build command was $ export CC=gcc34 CXX=g++34 && ./install


Segmentation fault : That's strange. I had no issues at all.
See post #12, three days ago.
And the critical simulation has always been `tmac-example.tcl', not `uwan-mac-random.tcl'.

What could possibly make a difference ?
The computer I used for the aquasim / Ubuntu 10.10 tests is a Dell Dimension 520.
Processor : Intel dual core 4300 , 1.8GHz.
The OS, Ubuntu 10.10 - i686 was installed `Aug 2012'.
The libc6 version is "2.12.1-0ubuntu10.4".
( The "info" command for the libc6 status is $ dpkg -s libc6 )
... But I cannot see any updates for the critical packages so you must have the same versions.

Other options : You can try with CentOS 6.7 ...
http://ftp.funet.fi/pub/mirrors/cent...386-LiveCD.iso
>>> CentOS-6.7-i386-LiveCD.iso

Re #24.

A suggestion :
Why not use the package `aquasim-ns_2.30-ubuntu10_i386.deb' ?
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7S...ew?usp=sharing
... provides /usr/local/bin/ns-aqua

Please download the 4MB package, and install it into Ubuntu 10.10.

Then you can do $ ns-aqua uwan-mac-random.tcl

thanks knudfl,

i did that but i couldn't update ... i hv some problems with update :

$ sudo apt-get update

Re #29.

Ubuntu 10.10 was moved to the "old archive" years ago, you'll need new links.

$ sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
... then replace all text with these new eight lines :
Then you can run $ sudo apt-get update
... but there is really no reason to update the ns2 build prerequisites.
If $ sudo apt-get install g++ autoconf libtool libxmu-dev
... was installed OK, you already have the latest available version of these, and their dependencies, libc6 etc.


? Did you try out the package `aquasim-ns_2.30-ubuntu10_i386.deb' ?
