Welcome to LQ.

About your error : Missing x11/Xlib files.
"libxmu-dev" will take care that they all get installed :

sudo apt-get install \
g++ autoconf automake libtool libxmu-dev patch xgraph


? More questions ? Then please specify the Ubuntu version and architecture.
Version command : cat /etc/issue
Architecture command : uname -m

.

Thanks for supporting..

I tried that code. But it couldn't successful. It shows autoconf, automake, etc.. : No such file or directory

I am using ubuntu version : Ubuntu 11.04
Architecture : i 686

Doesn't look like a reply from 'apt-get install *** '

Please try one more time ...

I try the above code. It give the following message.
manikandan@manikandan-TM4750:~$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install g++ autoconf automake libtool libxmu-dev patch xgraph

I am using RHEL 4

I try to install ns2 2.27. what is the compatible gcc for RHEL4

# 9 : RHEL 4, The default compiler is gcc/g++ version 3.4.6, i.e. OK.

tar zxvf ns-allinone-2.27.tar.gz
patch -p0 < ns-2.27-gcc410.patch
cd ns-allinone-2.27/
./install : No errors.
Probably start from scratch with a new unpacked ns-allinone-2.27.tar.gz.
... And follow the above strictly.
( The patch is applied outside ns-allinone-2.27/ ).

Dear Sir,
I try to install ns2 2.27. But in the gcc itself shows some error..

Please find the error messages after upgrade the gcc34...
checking whether the C compiler (gcc34 ) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables.

Tcl is not part of the ns project. Please see www.Scriptics.com
to see if they have a fix for your platform.

The c++ compiler is required too. Package name : 'gcc-c++'.


Why are you using the obsolete RHEL 4 for ns2 ?
Ubuntu 11.04, ref. post # 3 is better suited for ns-2.27, I think.
Ubuntu 11.04, ns226 .. ns234 compiler : gcc41-compat + g++41-compat :

In our Lab we are using RHEL. The students are accessed through Telnet. Is there possible to access the ns2 through TelNet?

I have successfully installed ns2. Thank you....
