install gcc and glib-devel (or the development tools group) via yum and please do not demand priority attention in the future, it is NOT "IMPORTANT" for us, thanks.

I'm really really sorry. I didn't mean to be rude,it's only I'm starting and it's for University. I don't know if I should ask, but could you please tell me what is yum?

Welcome to LQ.

The usual, for ns2 : # yum install \
gcc-c++ compat-gcc-34-c++ automake autoconf libtool libX11-devel \
libXext-devel libXau-devel libXmu-devel xorg-x11-proto-devel

And probably :
cd ns-allinone-2.30/ && export CC=gcc34 CXX=g++34 && ./install

Thank you very much. I've got a new problem:when I write ./install I've got a new error:

What do I have to do? I MUST use the 2.30 version, I can't change it

"g++ -c ... " is wrong, if you are using Fedora 14.
( Your "other post" said Fedora 11.)

Should be "g++34 -c ... ".

The install command must be :
'export CC=gcc34 CXX=g++34 && ./install'

The export command is temporary : When you exit the terminal,
you will reset to gcc / g++ = version 4.5.1.
The version to use is : 3.4.6 !

I've already installed the gcc 4.3 but when i run again install i get the problem I've posted above

Hopefully you mean gcc-c++-3.4.6 ?

# yum install compat-gcc-34-c++


Actually, I did run : export CC=gcc34 CXX=g++34 && ./install
in ns-allinone-2.30/ , while I wrote post # 6 :
And got no errors. Fedora 14, 32bits was used.

Thank you very much. It works now. I'm really thankful

I've got a new problem. Validate works, but then I try to modifiy the bashrc file (I've installed ns2 in /opt/ns2-allinone-2.30)
and write these lines:
# LD_LIBRARY_PATH
OTCL_LIB=/opt/ns-allinone-2.30/otcl-1.12
NS2_LIB=/opt/ns-allinone-2.30/lib
X11_LIB=/usr/X11R6/lib
USR_LOCAL_LIB=/usr/local/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$OTCL_LIB:$NS2_LI B:$X11_LIB:$USR_LOCAL_LIB

# TCL_LIBRARY
TCL_LIB=/opt/ns-allinone-2.30/tcl8.4.13/library
USR_LIB=/usr/lib
export TCL_LIBRARY=$TCL_LIB:$USR_LIB

# PATH
XGRAPH=/opt/ns-allinone-2.30/bin:/your/path/ns-allinone-2.30/tcl8.4.13/unix:/opt/ns-allinone-2.30/tk8.4.13/unix
NS=/opt/ns-allinone-2.30/ns-2.30/
NAM=/opt/ns-allinone-2.30/nam-1.12/
PATH=$PATH:$XGRAPH:$NS:$NAM

After that I try:
source ~/.bashrc

but the answer is:
-bash: export: `B:/usr/X11R6/lib:/usr/local/lib': no es un identificador válido

Can you help me please?

I've tried several step-by-step tutorials, and it continues giving me problems.

Yes, that's an old thing ( like ns-allinone-2.30 ).
All x11 / X11 libraries are in /usr/lib/


Installing to /opt/ : Not a good idea. Only makes it difficult to use.

Please keep it all in /home/Stella/ns2/
( Or another folder in /home/Stella/ )

Yes, I would like to install 2.34 BUT my teacher at University has decided that I must use 2.30. The problem is that I only want to install ns2 because I have to work about lte. I know this time the topic "women and linux don't match" feets me and -to be honest- I suppose it has to be very funny reading my stupid questions,but after trying it all day, I'm quite lost.

So.. I don't have to install ns2.30 in /opt, but in /home/Stella?
And, I'm sorry, but I haven't understood what I have to do about my problem with the bashrc file, what should I write instead of that?

If at all required ( it isn't ): X11_LIB=/usr/lib instead of X11_LIB=/usr/X11R6/lib
And omit this line : USR_LOCAL_LIB=/usr/local/lib ( No ns2 related files there.)


Usually having about three "ns-allinone-2.x" on each OS,
I never add anything to any configuration file. (.bashrc)
The binaries, 'ns' and 'nam' are partly statically compiled
on all newer ns-allinone-2.x. That means :
No dependencies except those already in a known path (/usr/lib/).

I would do : cd ns-allinone-2.30/ns-2.30/ && cp ns ns230
( Then you have saved an ns(230), that will work with non LTE files.)
When you have added the LTE patch, and compiled a new ns, suggest :
cp ns ns-lte. Next : copy all binaries to /usr/local/bin/
( ns, ns230, ns-lte, nam.) Then they are always in the PATH.
