Welcome to LQ.

? Are you sure your OS is 32bits ?
Please do : uname -m
... will reply with i686 or x86_64.

sudo dpkg --install nam_1.15-10_i386.deb
The text output must end with this line :
Setting up nam (1.15-10)


All nam packages http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...-4175524760/#2

Ubuntu version 17.04 : The nam package is usable again :
sudo apt install nam xgraph

After successfully install the nam_1.14_amd64.deb, it work for 3 to 4 days , But today i have got the error after run nam command. the error is " Segmentation fault (core dumped) ". I have 64 bits machine , Ubuntu 16.04.

Kindly give your suggestion what i do?

Re #7.

Please specify OS : Name and version.

Actually the OS info is required by every question.
I think we got the architecture only : 64bits. ( Assume x86_64 / amd64.)

OS is Ubuntu 16.04LTS

Re #7, #9.

May the Ubuntu 10.10 package nam_1.14_amd64.deb is too old for 16.04 .

Please update to nam_1.15-10-ubuntu14_amd64.deb
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7S...ew?usp=sharing

sudo gdebi ./nam_1.15-10-ubuntu14_amd64.deb

I installed as per suggestion ,so i get gedbi command not found , After That i install the
sudo apt-get install gdebi

Its installed

opal@opal-Inspiron-15-3567:~/Downloads$ sudo gdebi ./nam_1.15-10-ubuntu14_amd64.deb

Now I am getting the BAsh error , what is Bash, How I will be resolve?

Re #11.
'bash' is a shell : echo $SHELL
Goggle can tell https://www.google.com/webhp?hl=all&...q=what+is+bash


..... Maybe /usr/local/bin/ was deleted from the default PATH ? → echo $PATH

P.S. : nam_1.15-10-ubuntu14_amd64.deb is also the package I once installed in Ubuntu 16.04
.... No issues.
