Not really required on Linux.
The binary ns is hard coded to know, where its libraries are located.
And nam used to be statically compiled. No external tcl, tk etc. required.


A much better solution is :
cd ns-allinone-2.35/nam-1.15/ && sudo make install
cd ../ns-2.35/ && sudo make install

'make install' will copy ns, nam to /usr/local/bin/ : A system PATH.

If you have an unstable nam :
Nam is a separate application. Any nam can be used.
A statical nam ( Tested OK on an Ubuntu with no ns2, no tcl, tk installed )
32bits https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B7S...k4NGI5NzliM2Ux
64bits https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B7S...NiYjY0ODE1YmQw
> nam-1.14.<arch>.tar.gz : Unpack, and copy nam to /usr/local/bin/

EDIT : Just made a test with nam-1.15 : Isn't behaving very well.
Suggest : Use the linked nam-1.14. Same functionality as 1.15.
( The only changes, 1.14 to 1.15 : Can be compiled with tcl8.5 ).

.

Thanks.

Did you find that sample code anywhere. Plz provide either code or web link. I followed the steps for installation and all three make commands worked withour error, but i m not sure whether it is correctly installed.
For CRCN.jar, I use the command java -jar CRCN.jar it opens a GUI window but when I press confirm button or Startsim, the file test.tcl is not created in working directory.

Plz reply

Post # 21, @abolnaga_91 : Welcome to LQ.

Please use the binary nam suggested in post # 16.

The nam that you can install with 'sudo apt-get install nam'
may install conflicting versions of libotcl, libtcl, tclsh, libtk.

when i wrote
wageeh@ubuntu:~$ cd ns-allinone-2.31/nam-1.13
wageeh@ubuntu:~/ns-allinone-2.31/nam-1.13$ sudo make install

i got an error
/usr/bin/install -c -m 755 nam /usr/local/bin
/usr/bin/install: cannot stat `nam': No such file or directory
make: *** [install] Error 1

ps:my name version is 1.13 for ns 2.31 ..
so can i download nam 1.14 from the given link in post 16?? and how can i install it ??

# 23

tar xvf nam-1.14.i586.tar.gz
cd nam-1.14.i586/
chmod +x nam
sudo cp nam /usr/local/bin/

Nam is a separate application.
Any 'nam' can be used for all versions of ns-2.xx.
More : Please read post # 16.

Fedora 29 has gcc, g++ version 8.2.1 .
... The latest g++ usable for ns-2.35 is g++ version 5.4 .

Suggest gcc-c++-5.3.0-1.el6.x86_64.rpm, item #1 here ...

Download ... and install :
The build command for ns-allinone-2.35 is then :
