Hi!

thanks for your response
but after ./validate this message appears:

These messages are NOT errors and can be ignored:
warning: using backward compatibility mode
This test is not implemented in backward compatibility mode


validate overall report: some portable tests failed:
./test-all-red
to re-run a specific test, cd tcl/test; ./test-all-TEST-NAME


Could you plz explain to me what means and what i must do

thanks

'cd ns-allinone-2.33/ns-2.33/'
./validate
... Warnings are not errors, just information.

Much worse than a few errors at validatation is, that 'nam' isn't working
in my Fedora 11.

...............About the patch 'tk-8.4-lastevent.patch'


Please just try : cd nam-1.13/ and ./nam , and nam will open ? Or ?

I used an OK 'nam' copy from another system to make ns / nam work with
the usual starter examples : e.g. 'ns example1b.tcl' ......

.....

'ns-allinone-2.34' seems to be the choice for Fedora 11.

If you have to use version 2.33, suggest :
Use the 'nam' binary from version 2.34
.. works perfect with 2.33.

.....
'ns-allinone-2.34' :
validate overall report: all tests passed.
.....

but when i try cd nam-1.13 it returns to me
bash: cd: nam-1.13/: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type

i.e this folder does'nt exist
what sould I do then?
thanks

I'm sorry I'm beginner in linux and NS how can I add nam2.34
could you please give me detailed instructions

thanks

Hi,

I want to check if I had written successfully the environnement variables
----------------------------------------------------------------------
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/home/xwz/Bureau/ns-allinone-2.33/otcl-1.13:/home/xwz/Bureau/ns-allinone-2.33/lib

TCL_LIBRARY=$TCL_LIBRARY:/home/xwz/Bureau/ns-allinone-2.33/tcl8.4.18/library:/home/xwz/Bureau/ns-allinone-2.33/tcl8.4.18/library
----------------------------------------------------------------------
is it ok??, please
thanks
__________________________________________________________________________
P.S.:
important notices (1) et (2)
(1) You MUST put /home/xwz/Bureau/ns-allinone-2.33/otcl-1.13, /home/xwz/Bureau/ns-allinone-2.33/lib,
into your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.
If it complains about X libraries, add path to your X libraries
into LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
If you are using csh, you can set it like:
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH <paths>
If you are using sh, you can set it like:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<paths>

(2) You MUST put /home/xwz/Bureau/ns-allinone-2.33/tcl8.4.18/library into your TCL_LIBRARY environmental
_____________________________________________________________________

"..check if I had written successfully the environnement variables"

Probably : depends, where you wrote it.
If everything works, it's OK.

(export) LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/......
means : all library path's ... and if /lib:usr/lib
are left out, certain things may not work.

(export) LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/......
means : an additional library path.
.....
.....
cd Bureau/ns-allinone-2.33/ns-2.33/
./ns
... and ' % ' is displayed, if OK.
exit
cd Bureau/ns-allinone-2.33/nam-1.13/
./nam
... the "Nam Console.." will open, if nam is OK.
If you have problems with nam or anything else,
then please use 'ns-allinone-2.34' instead.

Hi,

I'm going to install ns2.34 but before i want to desinstall ns2.33
could you please say to me how can i desinstall ns2.33

and another question please is it necessary to write "export" while setting enviroment variables because when i write it it didn't works

thanks in advance

'ns-allinone-2.33' : There is no real install.
Hence 'allinone'.
Delete the folder, and everything is gone.

Where do you write 'export' ?

Hello,

I have tryed to install ns2.34 on fedora 11 but there is the same problem "ns command not found"

I have followed these steps:


1) su , password
2) yum install libX11-devel libXext-devel libXau-devel libXmu-devel
3) exit
4) tar xvf ns-allinone-2.34.tar.gz
5) cd ns-allinone-2.34
6) ./install
7) "IMPORTANT NOTICES: (1) .. (2) .. "

To set enviroment variables, I have done like this

cd /etc
gedit ~/.bashrc

then I have added these lines on the file .bshrc

# LD_LIBRARY_PATH
OTCL_LIB=/home/Myname/ns-allinone-2.34/otcl-1.13
NS2_LIB=/home/Myname/ns-allinone-2.34/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$OTCL_LIB:$NS2_LIB

# TCL_LIBRARY
TCL_LIB=/home/Myname/ns-allinone-2.34/tcl8.4.18/library
export TCL_LIBRARY=$TCL_LIB

# PATH
XGRAPH=/home/Myname/ns-allinone-2.34/bin:/home/Myname/ns-allinone-2.34/tcl8.4.18/unix:/home/Myname/ns-allinone-2.34/tk8.4.18/unix
NS=/home/Myname/ns-allinone-2.34/ns-2.34/
NAM=/home/Myname/ns-allinone-2.34/nam-1.14/
PATH=$PATH:$XGRAPH:$NS:$NAM

after that I saved the .bshrc file and I closed it

after I returned to the terminal and I have typed source ~/.bashrc to save changes


8) cd ns-2.34/
9) ./validate

after ./ validate this message appears:

These messages are NOT errors and can be ignored:
warning: using backward compatibility mode
This test is not implemented in backward compatibility mode


validate overall report: some portable tests failed:
./test-all-red
to re-run a specific test, cd tcl/test; ./test-all-TEST-NAME


Then when I have tryed

cd Myname/ns-allinone-2.34/ns-2.34/
./ns

' % ' is displayed

and when I tryed
cd Myname/ns-allinone-2.34/nam-1.14/
./nam

the "Nam Console was opened, so nam is OK.

and when I tryed the echo command it return

[Myname@localhost ~]$ echo LD_LIBRARY_PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH
[Myname@localhost ~]$ echo TCL_LIBRARY
TCL_LIBRARY
[Myname@localhost ~]$ echo PATH
PATH

I could'nt understand from what the problem?


Could you please explain me what is the problem?



Thanks a lot for your help!!!

Well, there are two set of PATH's.
1) PATH
.. for binary path search
.. please try out the command : echo $PATH

2) LD_LIBRARY_PATH
.. = search path for libraries.
.. "display path" command : env | grep PATH

2a) export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/<some-path>
.. will exclude other library path's.
If used, all required path's must be included :
:/lib:/usr/lib etc. etc.

2b) export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/<some-path>
.. is an additional library path.

.....

To use 'ns' : cd Bureau/ns-allinone-2.34/ns-2.34/
./ns
.. then the path to nam may be missing ...
exit
cd Bureau/ns-allinone-2.34/
ln -s nam-1.14/ nam-1
.....

Or to avoid all problems with all path's :
The main components can be installed to a system path ...

cd Bureau/ns-allinone-2.34/tcl8.4.18/unix
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared
make
su
make install
exit
cd Bureau/ns-allinone-2.34/tk8.4.18/unix
.. same as for tcl8.4.18 ..
exit
exit
cd Bureau/ns-allinone-2.34/otcl-1.13/
./configure --enable-shared
make
su
make install
cp libotcl.so /usr/lib/
cd ../tclcl-1.19/
make install
cd ../ns-2.34/
make install
cd ../nam-1.14
make install
exit
.. then you have a system library path ( /usr/lib/ )
.. and the path for binaries are /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin
