I guess you will have to delete the downloaded gcc41-compat-4.1.2-ubuntu1210_i386.deb,
.. then download a new one, and reinstall with
$ sudo dpkg -i gcc41-compat-4.1.2-ubuntu1210_i386.deb

Please copy the patch `ns2.31_fhmip.patch' to the directory where you do $ 'patch ....'

1)gedit ~./bashrc
2) source ~./bashrc

Only required when you use the University Computer, and have no write permissions
to /usr/local/bin/. And : Adding the *PATH's to .bashrc doesn't always work.

Dear sir,
i'm really thankful for ur every response.
i'm a beginner to use ubuntu & ns 2.
although i have tried and made the tests not only ur posts that
concerend about my installation but also from other links
I got confused and couldn't be able to understand what is the difference between the suggestions.
however, i'll try again every step you have posted.
i know my questions will make you irritated.
thank you very much for your care.
with best wishes,
ms thiri
And : Remember that the most tutorials are written by young students,
who are most often using Linux and ns2 for the fist time.
None of those authors have built ns2 (or any other application) thousands of times.
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.
I have made all changes as it was written in the Readme file in the patch of IEEE 802.11e EDCA.
when i tried the 9th step: " run ./configure; make clean; make depend; make in your ns directory"
Ive got: no such directory when i try to configure.
(im using cygwin on windows) . how can i configure the changes?

The EDCA you are reading about in "Readme" is for ns-2.28.
Please use the patch for ns-2.35 :
** Start from scratch in a new folder in /home/<user-name>/
with a new unpacked ns-allinone-2.35.tar.gz :
$ tar xvf ns-allinone-2.35.tar.gz
The ns235 with the errors cannot be reused.
Example ...
$ cd ns-allinone-2.35/
$ patch -p0 < 802.11e-EDCA-ns235_091814.patch https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7S...ew?usp=sharing
$ export CC=gcc-4.4 CXX=g++41 && ./install
... and the executable "ns -802.11e" is created.
$ cp ns ns235-EDCA
$ sudo cp ns235-EDCA /usr/local/bin/
$ ns235-EDCA multi_udpflows.tcl : Works OK, the file `out.trī ~800 MB is created.
1)Thank you for ur reply and ur patience
i have installed the patch and wrote what u have written
however, when i wrote : export CC=gcc-4.4 CXX=g++41 && ./install
ive got this:
ns-allinone-2.35 has not been tested under versions of Cygwin older than
1.7.1. Your version (1.5.21) appears to be older than that. Success of
the install process is therefore NOT GUARANTEED.
The above test indicates that your installation of Cygwin
is probably NOT SUITABLE for installing ns-2 allinone.
(More details can be found in the specific error message above.)
2) im using cygwin on windows so what are the neccesary command for cygwin? is sudo suitable on cygwin?
Please waiting ur reply

Depends on which version of Cygwin you are using.
.. Or more important, the gcc and g++ version.
What's the output from :
a) $ gcc --version | grep gcc
b) $ g++ --version | grep g++
... Say you have gcc-4.7 : No ns2 will compile without errors.
** Actually you would could make things a lot easier :
Install a genuine 32bits (i386 / i686) Linux OS in VirtualBox,
or to a spare hard disk.
A normal Linux OS comes with several gcc/g++ versions,
which all can be installed at the same time.
And : You can get little or no help with {Cygwin / ns2}.

the patch of ns-allinone 2.35 or 2.28 can't be used on this version of cygwin
May be ?
See post #72 : "You can get little or no help with {Cygwin / ns2}".
I.e. only you can find out. Just try :
You can have as many ns-allinone-2 as you want,
installed at the same time. But do never add any *PATH text to .bashrc.
im using cygwin ns-2.30.
The size of the patch of EDCA-802.11e_ns230.patch is 153 KB? no tcl file in it?? or is there a wrong installation?
Do u advice that i keep using the patch of 2.35 and install a linux OS or try to keep working on the cygwin?
I have to measure the QoS of IEEE 802.11e so i have to use the EDCA patch and HCCA patch so which version is suitable for both?
Thank you
