Download a new "ns-allinone-2.30.tar.gz" from ...
http://sourceforge.net/projects/nsna...ar.gz/download

.. and unpack in a new folder in /home/<user-name>/ with :
$ tar xvf ns-allinone-2.30.tar.gz

Using any Windows© tools to unpack :
The permissions may change, and you get " Permission denied".


? Why in the first place use a "look alike Linux OS" like Cygwin,
... when you easily can install the real thing in 'VirtualBox' ?
( See post #72 : OS suggestion : CentOS 6.5
http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distri...386-LiveCD.iso
>>> CentOS-6.5-i386-LiveCD.iso )

I have installed the ns-allinone-2.30.tar.gz" from ...
http://sourceforge.net/projects/nsna...ar.gz/download and tried all the command.
But when i wrote: $ cp ns ns-edca, the output is:
cp: cannot stat `ns': No such file or directory ( i check it, no file ns)

I will take ur advice and stop working on cygwin and try to install a virtual box.
Can u recommend me a site that help me to install a virtual box and linux on mac? or it is preferred that it be installed on windows?
Thank you

Mac OS X : Seems complicated ....

Windows© : A very easy install, if I remember right :

I have installed the virtual box and Ubuntu 14.04.1 and tried to install the ns-allinone-2.30 from the site : http://sourceforge.net/projects/nsna...ar.gz/download
however, when I use ur commands, there no "ns file" in the ns-2.30 folder for : $ cp ns ns230-edca
I try to use a version that has this file, but when I try to copy it from a usb, it stopped when the downloads becomes 95 Mb
is there any site that it can give me the ns2.30 including the ns file?
thank you

Ubuntu 14.04.1 : Which version ? i686 or x86_64 ?
Q1) This command will show : $ uname -m


Q2) No 'ns' ? Where is the "make-log.txt" you were asked for ?
$ cd ns-2.30/ && make 2>&1 | tee make-log.txt


Anyway, you cannot compile ns-allinone-2.30
with the default Ubuntu 14.04 compilers.
When you have answered "Q1)", you will get links to a usable "gcc/g++".

R1) x86_64
should I use another version of Ubuntu??

I installed ns-allinone-2.30 where there is ns in ns2.30 to do: $cp ns ns230-edca

← #96 .
Is OK, when this works : $ ns-*** multi_udpflows.tcl

im sorry for all my questions
I write:
$ tar xvf ns-allinone-2.30.tar.gz
$ cd ns-allinone-2.30/
$ patch -p0 < EDCA-802.11e_ns230.patch
$ ./install (post #77)
however I've got : bash: ./install: Permission denied
but im using it as an administrator

← #98 .

First thing to do :
Download / install the gcc34/g++34 compilers, and nam : Post #12 here ..
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...4175521400/#12

Then it is :
$ tar xvf ns-allinone-2.30.tar.gz
$ cd ns-allinone-2.30/
$ patch -p0 < EDCA-802.11e_ns230.patch
$ export CC=gcc34 CXX=g++34
$ ./install

Permission denied : ?Did you unpack in Ubuntu with
$ 'tar xvf ns-allinone-2.30.tar.gz' ?
Important : Do not unpack as "administrator".
No 'sudo', no using `root´ for any ns2 command !
( Except for 'sudo make install',
and 'sudo cp ns-edca /usr/local/bin/' ).

`Permission denied' can also be caused by using
a Windows© tool for the unpack.

im sorry for all my questions but im a beginner in ns2 and Linux
Q1) can u told me the size of the gcc34/g++34 compilers, and nam that should be downloaded and where they should be in Ubuntu??
Q2) the size of the unpack file should be 67455 Kb?
Q3)gcc34 and g++ 4 is suitable with this version of Ubuntu or should I use Ubuntu with 32 bit??

I have use the command: $gcc -v, ive got there is gcc version 4.8.2
concerning the g++, I have use : $sudo apt-get install g++. Is it okay???
ans $sudo apt-get instakl nam but ive got:
E:unable to locate package nam.

then I tried $tar xvf ns-allinone-2.30.tar.gz to unpack the file, but it gives: tar: Error is not recoverable:: existing now

can u help me please???

Add 1. Package sizes :
compat-gcc34-3.4.6-ubuntu1204-1_amd64.deb = 4.3 MB.
compat-gcc-34-c++_3.4.6-20_amd64.deb = 12.6 MB.
nam_1.15-10-ubuntu14_amd64.deb = 2.3 MB

Where should they be in Ubuntu ? → Like the text says :
Click the packages, and they will be installed.
It's all automatically done.
If you want to know the file locations for an installed package,
please do : $ dpkg -L <package-name>
... Like $ dpkg -L nam

Add 2 : Which file ?

Add 3 : As you can see, the packages have suffix `amd64'
.. and are not usable with a 32bits OS.
See post #99, where I show the EDCA build, in Ubuntu 14.04 - 64.

For your information, a ready to install complete package,
ns-2.30 + EDCA would be about 4 MB only.
I.e. very few files are required to run the executable "ns230-edca".
It's at build time that you need a lot of space / a lot of files.

I have installed the ns-allinone-2.30.tar.gz and unpack it. I followed all the steps: install the compilers, then
$tar xvf ns-allinone-2.30.tar.gz
$cd ns-allinone-2.30
$patch -p0 < EDCA-802.11e_ns230.patch
$./install
$cd ns-2.30/
$cp ns ns230-edca

I've got : cp: cannot stat "ns" : No such file or directory

there is no file "ns" in the ns-2.30 folder, however I unpacked the installed file
how can I solve it???

← #103 .

HOWTO use the gcc34 /g++34 compilers ...
#12 http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...4175521400/#12

I.e. your build command must be :
$ export CC=gcc34 CXX=g++34 && ./install


Why not read post #99 in this thread ?
$ export CC=gcc34 CXX=g++34
$ ./install

-

Sorry but i forget to write, i did the export command before ./install
The ns file should be in the ns-2.30 folder?
