Installing ns-allinone-2.34 with KeLiu GPSR in Ubuntu 14.04.02 LTS
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Install gcc-4.4 g++-4.4 compilers

*NS-2 have some compatibility problem with gcc-4.6 version, in 12.04.
*It can be also installed from the Synaptic Package Manager

$ sudo apt-get install gcc-4.4 g++-4.4

2. Update Ubuntu library

$ sudo apt-get install libxt-dev libx11-dev libxmu-dev xorg-dev xgraph

3. Put the files "ns-allinone-2.34.tar.gz", "gpsr-keliu-ns-2.34-ubuntu10_i386.deb",& "gpsr-KeLiu-patched-ns2.34.tar.gz" to (preferably) /home.

$ cd <folder_name>

4. Extract the ns-allinone-2.34.tar.gz file

$ tar zxvf ns-allinone-2.34.tar.gz

5. Copy and paste the gpsr-KeLiu-patched-ns2.34.tar.gz file to /ns-allinone-2.34
gpsr-keliu-ns-2.34-ubuntu10_i386.deb file to ns-allinone-2.34/ns-2.34

$ cp gpsr-KeLiu-patched-ns2.34.tar.gz ns-allinone-2.34

6. Unpack it to replace default "ns-2.34" with KeLiu's "ns-2.34"

$ tar zxvf gpsr-KeLiu-patched-ns2.34.tar.gz

7. Now! place gpsr-keliu-ns-2.34-ubuntu10_i386.deb file to the replaced ns-2.34 directory

$ cp gpsr-keliu-ns-2.34-ubuntu10_i386.deb ns-allinone-2.34/ns-2.34

8. move to ns-allinone-2.34 and Install

$ cd ns-allinone-2.34 && ./install

*********Changes**********


i) edit the line 6304 in otcl-1.13/configure as follows:

$ gedit /home/ns/ns-allinone-2.34/otcl-1.13/configure

ii) $ gedit /home/ns/ns-allinone-2.34/ns-2.34/tools/ranvar.cc

CHANGES:

return GammaRandomVariable(1.0 + alpha_, beta_).value() * pow (u, 1.0 / alpha_); /*added this line*/
}



iii) $ gedit /home/ns/ns-allinone-2.34/ns-2.34/mobile/nakagami.cc disable line 183 and 185 add as below

CHANGES:
if (int_m == m) {
//resultPower = ErlangRandomVariable::ErlangRandomVariable(Pr/m, int_m).value();/*disabled*/

}



iv) To used gcc-4.4 and g++-4.4 as compiler to compile ns-allinone-2.34, Edit line 270 in tcl8.4.18/unix/Makefile.in

$ gedit /home/ns/ns-allinone-2.34/tcl8.4.18/Makefile.in

CHANGES:
#CC = @CC@ //disabled
CC = @CC@-4.4 //added


v) To used gcc-4.4 and g++-4.4 as compiler to compile ns-allinone-2.34, change the line 36-37 in ns-2.34/Makefile.in

$ gedit /home/ns/ns-allinone-2.34/ns-2.34/Makefile.in

CHANGES:
#CC = @CC@ //disabled
#CPP = @CXX@ //disabled
CC = @CC@-4.4
CPP = @CXX@-4.4


v) Also need to change the line 36-37 in ns-2.34/Makefile
N.B: the Makefile is a only available if once an ./install command is issued previously. If not skip this step.

$ gedit /home/ns/ns-allinone-2.34/ns-2.34/Makefile

CHANGES:
#CC = gcc //disabled
#CPP = g++ //disabled
CC = gcc-4.4
CPP = g++-4.4

**********Changes complete*********

9. in ns/ns-allinone-2.34

$ sudo ./install
N.B: if the directories and files appear to be locked then run from home

sudo chmod 777 -R ns-allinone-2.34


10. Move to ns/ns-allinone-2.34/ns-2.34 and install KeLiu GPSR Software and validate

$ cd ns-2.34 && sudo dpkg -i gpsr-keliu-ns-2.34-ubuntu10_i386.deb && ./validate

11. See for GPSR directory in ns-2.34/ the object files should have been created and move to it.

$ ls
$ cd ns-2.34

12. run ns wireless.gpsr.tcl
warning: Please use -channel as shown in tcl/ex/wireless-mitf.tcl

? Are you just trying to do things as complicated as possible ? Or ? ?
And : You are not supposed to do "$ sudo ./install".
No ns2 commands as root, or with sudo, please.
(Except 'make install' and 'cp ns-gpsr-keliu /usr/local/bin/'.)

The ns2 build prerequisites are :
$ sudo apt-get install g++ (g++-4.4) automake libtool make patch libxmu-dev

The old instructions are here, post #8 ...
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...-4175503088/#8


Latest is :
$ cd ns-allinone-2.34/
$ patch -p0 < gpsr-KeLiu_ns234.patch
$ patch -p0 < ns234_gcc49.patch
$ ./install
$ cd ns-2.34/
$ cp ns ns-gpsr-keliu
$ sudo cp ns-gpsr-keliu /usr/local/bin/
$ cd gpsr/
$ ns-gpsr-keliu wireless-gpsr.tcl

@ #2

Dear Knud,

Upgraded the system to 14.04.

Not searched for the recent softwares

After a "fail build", tried gcc-4.4 with the previous Keliu patch, that I had, found-- it works well.

That I posted, for reference, as I searched that[KeLiu_GPSR+2.34 in 14.04] too.

perhaps yo mean to say "sudo" accesses the kernel space and installs ns there, whereas it should be installed in the "user" space, in context of protection. Is it so...?

Made the correction.

Your valuable suggestions made this post more better and clearer for anyone who refers.

With thanks & regards.
