Hello everyone,

I tried to install the ns-allinone-2.34 on Fedora Core 12 but I got an error as below.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
make: Circular /home/shamilsons/SIP-NS2 <- /home/shamilsons/SIP-NS2 dependency dropped.
make: Circular Project <- /home/shamilsons/SIP-NS2 dependency dropped.
make: Circular Project <- Project dependency dropped.
make: *** No rule to make target `Files/ns-allinone-2.34/tcl8.4.18/unix/../generic/tcl.decls', needed by `Project'. Stop.
tcl8.4.18 make failed! Exiting ...
For problems with Tcl/Tk see http://www.scriptics.com
--------------------------------------------------------------------
then I searched on the forum and found the thread http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ora-11-750634/ for lower version so I followed it but still get the same error message.

What is the problem how to rectify it ?
thank you.

Welcome to LQ.

It is not quite clear, what you are doing.

"/home/shamilsons/SIP-NS2" : what is this ?

"Files/ns-allinone-2.34/" : and what is this ?
.....

The recommended build directory, etc.
/home/<username>/<dir>/ns-allinone-2.34/
e.g. /home/shamilsons/ns2/ns-allinone-2.34/
→ cd ns2/ns-allinone-2.34/
./install

There is at least one bug, please look here ( the tk bug )

Hello knudfl thanks for warm welcome and valuable reply.

I was able to install the ns-2.34 and validate it.

Actually I need to install the ns-2.27 and ns-2.26 on Fedora Core 12.
So I downloaded and tried to install them but I got an error as below.

I searched on the internet and tried to find some fixes but they didnot work. Any idea ?.
thanks

"ns-allinone-2.27" can be built on a modern Linux.
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...9.10-782356/#3
> post # 3.
( Is about 32 bit OS. But x86_64 , 64 bit OS: I don't know.)

I may test ns-allinone-2.27 on Fedora 12,
later, when I have the time to do it.
.....

"ns-allinone-2.26" can only be built on CentOS 3.9 (( Or Redhat EL3 )).
EDIT : See posts # 12 and # 15.
.....

Info ns-2.27 : 'LQ Search' → "Tag Name" = ns227
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/search.php
ns2 : "Tag Name" = ns2
ns-2.27 + LEACH : "Tag Name" = leach

ns-2.26 , ns-2.26-aodv-uu-mip' : "Tag Name" = ns226
.....
So which "special option" is your reason for ns-2.26 ?
.....

Hello knudfl
Thanks for valuable replies.

The reason why I need ns-2.27 and ns-2.26 versions is I want to simulate SIP,IPSec and TLS protocols and mentioned protocols some of them implemented in ns-2.26 and some of them on ns-2.27. so that I can show my students.
Of course there is a second way to do so, If I want them to work on ns-2.34 then I have to integrate them to ns-2.34.
How do you think will it be problem in integration of these protocols on ns-2.34 while they were working on 32 bit OS systems ?
thanks.

I don't know either of those protocols, so I have no idea.

What do you mean by ""they did work on 32 bit OS systems"" ?
Is your OS a 64 Bits one ? ?
.....

Still : Ns-allinone-2.27 should be possible to build on F 12.

Installing 'gcc-3.3' / 'gcc-c++-3.3' is different from Ubuntu :

No my system is 32 bit OS but you told about 64 bit OS and I wanted to mean that they were working on RedHat version but it is ok for now.

As I understood you properly I have to install the given gcc version to my FC 12 right ? if so would not it be a problem for FC 12 current gcc ?.

No, I have not mentioned any instructions for 64 Bits OS.

The actions described in post # 7, is what I have on my Fedora 12.
.... You can have as many compilers installed at the same time,
as you want. These 'compat' compilers are made not to have any
conflicting files. The default "compat" compiler(s) for Fedora
is the compat-gcc-34 / compat-gcc-34-c++, good for many things,
but not usable with ns-2.27 .

And the ns-allinone-2.27/ns-allinone-2.34 "combined"
was test compiled on my Fedora 12 ten hours ago :
No errors. 'ns' + 'nam' commands work OK.
.....

This week I created a gcc-3.3.3 / g++-3.3.3 for EL 5,
CentOS 5.x / SL54. The ns-allinone-2.26 was used to test
the compilers. Worked out perfect.
So why not try the same on Fedora 12 ..........
The two compiler packages were installed, and again :
The compilation of ns-allinone-2.26 ran with no errors.

I can upload gcc33-3.3.3el5-1.i386.rpm, gcc33c++-3.3.3el5-1.i386.rpm
to an email, if you want to use them.

Hello knudfl for your help it is very valuable.

An even more convinient solution for ns-allinone-2.26 is now tested
http://download.opensuse.org/distrib...oss/suse/i586/
cpp33-3.3.3-15.3.i586.rpm gcc33-3.3.3-15.3.i586.rpm
gcc33-c++-3.3.3-15.3.i586.rpm libstdc++33-devel-3.3.3-15.3.i586.rpm

Edit Makefile.in :
tcl8.3.2/unix/, tk8.3.2/unix/, otcl-1.0a8/, tclcl-1.0b13/, nam, ns-2.26 ,,, to this

CC = gcc-3.3
CPP = g++-3.3

.....

hello knudfl,
As I downloaded above packages but they are for suse. Will it be problem if I install them to fedore core 12 ?.
thanks

The Suse packages work OK. Every time.
To be installed with "chain install" :
1) su
2) rpm -Uvh <package> <package> <package> <package>

( You may need libstdc++33-3.3.3-15.3.i586.rpm too.)

More news about ns-2.26 ..
I found this link : http://norae.tistory.com/67 ,
which is referred to on other sites. Most often about ns-2.27.
( The link has been down for months.)

This file "ns-2.26-gcc410.patch" is supposed to make it
possible to compile ns-2.26 with gcc, g++ version 4.1.x.
CentOS 5.4 / RH EL 5 : 4.1.x is default.
Fedora 10, 11, 12 can use the 'Suse 11.2' gcc41***** packages.
EDIT : Use g++ 3.4 : # yum install compat-gcc-34-c++.

I will test the patch some day ... ..
