i am working with ns2.32 on fedora16 and everytime i run make command i get the following error

[afsha@localhost ns-2.32]$ make install
for d in /usr/local/man/man1; do \
if [ ! -d $d ]; then \
mkdir -p $d ;\
fi;\
done
mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/local/man': Permission denied
make: *** [dirs] Error 1

and i am not able to find "man" folder directly in local..it is placed in "share "folder and when i try to open the folder "man" its contents are not displayed.so can u tell me how to access the contents of man so that i no longer get this "permission denied message"

Installing 'ns' to /usr/local/bin/ :

1) su <password>
2) make install

( The man page gets installed too.)

Thanks,
After running make install command i get following output:
[root@localhost ns-2.32]# make install
for d in /usr/local/man/man1; do \
if [ ! -d $d ]; then \
mkdir -p $d ;\
fi;\
done
/usr/bin/install -c -m 755 ns /usr/local/bin
/usr/bin/install: cannot stat `ns': No such file or directory
make: *** [install-ns] Error 1

Please suggest what to do now

The complete ns-allinone-2.32 must be built before you can install ns.

1) # yum install \
gcc-c++ compat-gcc-34-c++ automake autoconf libtool libX11-devel \
libXext-devel libXau-devel libXmu-devel xorg-x11-proto-devel

2) cd ns-allinone-2.32/tk8.4.15/ &&
wget ftp://ftp.swin.edu.au/gentoo-portage...astevent.patch
&& patch -p0 < tk-8.4-lastevent.patch && cd ../ &&
export CC=gcc34 CXX=g++34 && ./install

.

thanks
i successfully installed the ns2
but when i run the code i get following output
"you are using trace file older than 1.0a5 which will not allow ypu to run the namgraph"

#5 .
Which code ? Which command ?

a simple code for 7 mobile nodes

whenever i use make install i get this error working on fedora16 ns2.32



root@localhost ns-2.32]# make install
for d in /usr/local/man/man1; do \
if [ ! -d $d ]; then \
mkdir -p $d ;\
fi;\
done
/usr/bin/install -c -m 755 ns /usr/local/bin
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ns.1 /usr/local/man/man1

# 8

I don't see any error in the text. That's a successful install !
Two files are copied : 'ns' to /usr/local/bin/.
And the man page 'ns.1' to /usr/local/man/man1

whenever i make some changes in the aodv.cc and make file and then recompile ns2 it gives me foll output


[afsha@localhost ns-2.32]$ make install
for d in /usr/local/man/man1; do \
if [ ! -d $d ]; then \
mkdir -p $d ;\
fi;\
done
/usr/bin/install -c -m 755 ns /usr/local/bin
/usr/bin/install: cannot remove `/usr/local/bin/ns': Permission denied
make: *** [install-ns] Error 1
is my make install command successful?

and then sometimes besides this error i also get "cannot stat ns"

afsha@localhost ns-2.32]$ make install
for d in /usr/local/man/man1; do \
if [ ! -d $d ]; then \
mkdir -p $d ;\
fi;\
done
/usr/bin/install -c -m 755 ns /usr/local/bin
/usr/bin/install: cannot stat `ns': No such file or directory
make: *** [install-ns] Error 1
