Hi all;

I urgently need your help, as I need NCTUns for my thesis program. I installed fedora 11 on VMWare WorkStation 12 player, all updates were done successfully for fedora 11 kernel and all NCTUns dependency file was installed before begining its installation. On trying to install NCTUns using the ./install.sh command, I got the following errors thus:

*
* The NCTUns 6.0 Network Simulator Installation Script Program
*
* Notes: 1. You must be the root user to successfully run this program.
* 2. Normally, you can simply answer "y" or "yes" to all questions.
* 3. The related files of NCTUns will be installed in /usr/local/nctuns by default.
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
* In the following, this script will begin to install NCTUns. If you want
* to abort this installation, you should press "control+C" NOW!
*
* Otherwise, you can press the "Enter" key to begin.
*

I have hence tried to install it but all my trials are failing, I downloaded NCTUns 6.0 from this site > https://github.com/jorgenio/nctuns

Please, kindly point out what I am doing wrong and what I need to do to get it installed. Any help will be kindly and highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to LQ.

NCTUns is a 32bits application
https://github.com/jorgenio/nctuns/t...CTUns-6.0/RPMS


? Are you using a 32bits Fedora 11 ?
This command will show : $ uname -m

NCTUns info : http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/tags/nctuns/


-

I installed Fedora 11 64bits.

As you can see thus:

[root@localhost home]# uname -m
x86_64
[root@localhost home]#

Do you suggest I download Fedora 11 i386 version and installed it on the VMWare Workstation 12 player. If NCTUns is 32bit architecture supported as you said or what do you suggest I should do please. Thank you a lot for responding on time. I really appreciate.

OK, then please give NCTUns a try with the 32bits version ...
http://archives.fedoraproject.org/pu...6-Live-KDE.iso

Thank you for the prompt reply. I am currently downloading Fedora 11 32bits DVD from > https://archives.fedoraproject.org/p...dora/i386/iso/

Is it alright to download from this link for the 32bits version of Fedora 11 or I should go for the Live CD version you specified?

I mean, which one is better for the NCTUns 6.0 installation, Is it the Live CD or the DVD version of Fedora 11 32bits?

Thank you once again.

Doesn't matter which version you are choosing.

Good luck !

Thank you for your timely response. I have gone for the Fedora 11 32bits DVD version. And I will post my feedback as soon as I am done. Thanks once again. I really appreciate.

Requirements for NCTUns :

# yum install gcc-c++ tcsh autoconf automake libtool libXmu-devel \
xterm mkinitrd tcl-devel tk-devel ncurses-devel qt3

Alright.

I actually did that for the previous installation and yet it gave me that error. But I will try it again with the one I just finished downloaded. Thank you.

AFTER FOLLOWING ALL THE STEPS YOU GAVE ME: - This is the output of the installation again. it goes thus:

*
* The NCTUns 6.0 Network Simulator Installation Script Program
*
* Notes: 1. You must be the root user to successfully run this program.
* 2. Normally, you can simply answer "y" or "yes" to all questions.
* 3. The related files of NCTUns will be installed in /usr/local/nctuns by default.

I do not know what I am doing wrong, all dependencies were installed before the start of the execution of the command ./install.sh

Could it be the NCTUns I downloaded or something else. Anyone should kindly point me to where I can get complete and up to date NCTUns software and put me through some installation technicalities. Thank you in advance.

Hi;

I managed to get it installed and set the path thus:

export NCTUNSHOME=/usr/local/nctuns
export NCTUNS_TOOLS=$NCTUNSHOME/tools
export NCTUNS_BIN=$NCTUNSHOME/bin
export PATH=${NCTUNS_BIN}:${PATH}

and restarted the system. At the next login, I choose "nctuns" kernel and on trying to executes the dispatcher, coordinator and client, I am having the out thus:

[root@localhost nctuns]# source /usr/local/nctuns/etc/nctuns.bash
[root@localhost nctuns]# dispatcher
bash: dispatcher: command not found
[root@localhost nctuns]#

Kindly point out what I'm doing wrong and how to rectify it. Is it that my Path is not set well or what could I be missing. Thank you in advance.

Re #10

The export command is temporary.
Either execute the export commands for each terminal session,
or source the nctuns script /usr/local/nctuns/etc/nctuns.bash
http://blog-archive.copyninja.info/2...tion-help.html

Open three terminal windows , and su to root.
First terminal : 1) # source /usr/local/nctuns/etc/nctuns.bash
2) # dispatcher

Second terminal : 1) # source /usr/local/nctuns/etc/nctuns.bash
2) # coordinator

Third terminal : 1) # source /usr/local/nctuns/etc/nctuns.bash
2) # nctunsclient

it you are intent on using a UNSUPPORTED and 12 versions OUT OF DATE operating system
- EXPECT MAJOR PROBLEMS -
-- Fedora 11 went End Of Life in June of 2010 --
it is missing 6 YEARS of updates and is using 6 year old versions of programs


the first one is there are NO updates
no software to install
and you will have to MANUALLY edit the yum repos to point to the ARCHIVES to install the old and out of date and unsupported versions of software


for using a 6 year old version you might want to post on the End Of Life section of the Fedora forum
http://www.forums.fedoraforum.org/forumdisplay.php?f=75

Thank you for your response, as I need to install NCTUns software on Fedora, what do you propose I should do, or how can I get NCTUns installed without any problem. I look forward to your reply. Thank you in advance.

Re #12, #13.

NCTUns for Fedora 11 requires Fedora 11. No later version can be used.

I tried to set the path using this youtube video: > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=so1Q5zYLQx4

But after restart the system, it refuse to boot again to the desktop interface, it is just stopping or hooking after the post-booting test.

I can not get to the Fedora interface again. What can I do, and have I done anything wrong following the video procedure?

Thank you in advance
