Hi Guys....

I'm trying to install NS2.35 on Ubuntu 12.10.
Actually, the installation was done Successfully. Unfortunatly, the validation was failed.

validate overall report: some tests failed:
./test-all-newreno ./test-all-tcpOptions ./test-all-tcpVariants ./test-all-aimd ./test-all-frto ./test-all-quickstart ./test-all-manual-routing ./test-all-links
to re-run a specific test, cd tcl/test; ./test-all-TEST-NAME

Anyone can help me to solve this problem, or I can work even the validation was failed.

Thanks in advance.

# 31

There are about 2,000 tests.
The 'validate' script uses 108 "test-all-*" shell scripts
to run those 2000 tests. A few will most often fail.
( See ns-2.35/tcl/tests/ ).

The file ns-2.35/validate.out, line 6628 : all tests passed.
Meaning :
The reference ns-2.35 was built on an OS that creates a perfect 'ns' executable.
( Could be CentOS 6 ? )

-

as knudfl said , it's not a real problem that some tests fail.
if you type ns in terminal and you see % , that's good. Otherwise , your installation has not succeded .

Good luck ..

Hi, everyone,
I got make: *** [linkstate/ls.o] Error 1 errror occur after changing Makefile under
"ns2.35\indep.utils\cmu-scen-gen\setdest\Makefile" by adding these two sentences at the end of file following like this
////////////////
Makefile
.....
...
#add new code
ex-linkage.o
/////////////
and save it. And I add the ex-linkage.cc under ns2.35. After that I run "./configure" and "make clean" and then "make" command. At last I got one error and can't run any ns program. After getting that error, I see again Makefile to delete my two line. But I can't find them. So, how to get original Makefile and how to fix this error. I'm very new user in NS2 and very important to use NS2 for my research.
I wanted to test a program to make a linkage between C++ and OTCL. Hoping any help to fix this....Thank a million in advance.

# 34 . Unknown Ubuntu version. Please specify.

Looks like you configured to use a wrong gcc ?
If it's a later Ubuntu like 11* .. 12*, the configure command is :
$ export CC=gcc-4.4 CXX=g++-4.4 && ./configure
.
If you have no succes, please start from scratch :

1) tar xvf ns-allinone-2.35.tar.gz && cd ns-allinone-2.35/
2) export CC=gcc-4.4 CXX=g++-4.4 && ./install
3) cd ns-2.35/ && cp ns ns-orig
.. Then you have a working executable (ns-orig),
if anything goes wrong at make clean && make.

** It is always a god idea to save a backup : 'ns-orig' :
Not every default tcl script will work with a modified "ns executable".

Response erroneously sent as report:

I run some my own program in NS2. When "make" command is done, no error occurs. But, when I use "make install". I got this error. How to fix it? Please kindly share me. Thank you for any help.

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 create regular file `/usr/local/bin/ns': Permission denied make: * [install-ns] Error 1

Any help will be highly appreciated.

# 37
'make install' won't do. Must be : sudo make install

I.e. 'make install' will copy 'ns' to /usr/local/bin/
And you have no write access to /usr///** as unprivileged user.

Dear All,

Whenever I change Makefile.in under ns directory to make some linkage (.cc and .tcl), although I don't have any program error.I occur this error. After that, I can't use ns command. Please kindly suggest me how to fix this error.

In file included from linkstate/ls.cc:67:0:
linkstate/ls.h: In instantiation of ‘void LsMap<Key, T>::eraseAll() [with Key = int; T = LsIdSeq]’:
linkstate/ls.cc:396:28: required from here

If you want a solution, some more information is required :
Please show the line(s) that you changed in Makefile.in : In code tags.


*** Be aware that when the Makefile.in has been edited,
and you do a ./configure in ns-2.35/, it must be done in this way :

Dear Sir knudfl,
Very Thankful Sir, Now I can solve it with your help.. I have no error after "make" command but error occurs "make depend" as follows.

emulate/net-pcap.cc:64:18: fatal error: pcap.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

I run the following.
export CXX=g++-4.4 && ./configure
make clean
make depend //above error occur
make// no error , result get.

And also do I need to delete Makefile.in~ , I found many files like that ending with ~. is that temp file and need to delete it. Sir? Please kindly tell me, Sir. Thank you very much.

Regards,
Ms. Nwe Nwe

# 41 .
sudo apt-get install libpcap0.8-dev
Or : It could be an error with 'make depend'.
And : When an ns-allinone-2* has been built with ./install,
.. there should be no reason to use 'make depend'.
( I am never using 'make depend' after changes. 'make' will do.)


Files~ are backup for files that you edited.
It's your own decision if you want to delete them.

Avoiding files~ :
Use another Editor, like gedit. No visible backup. ( Hidden .backup ?).
Or use leafpad : No backups at all.

If you want a backup anyway : Make backups before you edit.
Like : cp Makefile Makefile-back ; cp Makefile.in Makefile.in-back.

Dear all, I am installing ns-2.35 on ubuntu 12.04, everything goes fine, installation, validation and all. but after i set envirnment variables and make it effect using command "source ~/.bashrc" it gives an error "USR_LOCAL_LIB: command not found".
please help
probably it is very last step before using ns-2 and i stuck here......

# 43 .

"/usr/local/lib/" is 1) an LD_LIBRARY_PATH, not a PATH.
2) is already a system path. Should not be added to .bashrc .

** I don't think you actually need to add anything at all to .bashrc.
The executable 'ns' will work perfectly OK, when it is installed
or copied to /usr/local/bin/.
( I have 30 times 'ns' in /usr/local/bin/ (They have 30 different names),
and I never add any *PATH* text to .bashrc or anywhere else.)

Thank you very much knudfl, its very nice of you,
the problem got traced and it is that i was not setting the path correctly at "OTCL_LIB=/Home/Jawad/Documents/....."
i was using "OTCL_LIB=/Documents/....."
