Hi LQ,
When I had written nam,I got segmentation fault (core dumped) error.Then after read a particle here,I tried to uninstall and reinstall ns2.When at last step,I wrote ./validate or sudo ./validate,firstly I saw in terminal "some test outputs agrees with reference outputs" but after that I saw this and it repeats for other tests ;

Some test failed.

I couldn't handle this problem,could you help me please,thanks.

Welcome to LQ.
Please install libperl4-corelibs-perl :
$ sudo apt-get install libperl4-corelibs-perl
... Provides /usr/share/perl5/getopts.pl .

Besides that : There is really no reason to run 'make test' (validate).
If some group tests are failing :
Nothing you can do. ( Except for using a more ns2 friendly OS.)
Note : "sudo ./validate" is a forbidden command.
No 'sudo' or root for any ns2 commands. ( Except for 'sudo make install'.)
* 'sudo' is for administrative tasks only ! Like installing / removing packages.


About the faulty 'nam' : $ sudo apt-get remove nam
I.e. the Ubuntu nam packages are buggy. There's a one year old bug report.
... Then find a nam package here, post #2
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...-4175524760/#2
Download the package. "Click" the package, and it will be installed.

Alternatively, if you have ns-2.35/, there's a chance you can do :
$ cd nam-1.15/ && sudo make install
