Installation of ns2.34 on UBUNTU version 10
Follow exactly the same order.
Open TERMINAL
copy these commands and paste in terminal ( use right click ).
" wget http://nchc.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/nsnam/ns-allinone-2.34.tar.gz "
" tar -xzvf ns-allinone-2.34.tar.gz "
" cd ns-allinone-2.34 "
" sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libxmu-dev "
now open this file "Make.in". find this in your home directory (just open home directory there you can find folder named as ns-allinone-2.34 and below is the complete file path).
"home/computer-name/ns-allinone-2.34/otcl-1.13/Makefile.in"
after opening this file. find a line that is
" CC= @CC@ "
and change it to
" CC= gcc-4.3"
save the file and return to TERMINAL
and write
" ./install "
after installation complete
write
" gedit ~/.bashrc "
a text file will open just scroll down and paste this and replace "path" by your computer name.
for example "ahmed".
for example : OTCL_LIB=/home/ahmed/ns-allinone-2.34/otcl-1.13
{
# LD_LIBRARY_PATH
OTCL_LIB=/home/path/ns-allinone-2.34/otcl-1.13
NS2_LIB=/home/path/ns-allinone-2.34/lib
X11_LIB=/usr/X11R6/lib
USR_LOCAL_LIB=/usr/local/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$OTCL_LIB:$NS2_LIB:$X11_LIB:$USR_LOCAL_LIB
# TCL_LIBRARY
TCL_LIB=/home/path/ns-allinone-2.34/tcl8.4.18/library
USR_LIB=/usr/lib
export TCL_LIBRARY=$TCL_LIB:$USR_LIB
# PATH
XGRAPH=/home/path/ns-allinone-2.34/bin:/home/ateeb/ns-allinone-2.34/tcl8.4.18/unix:/home/path/ns-allinone-2.34/tk8.4.18/unix
NS=/home/path/ns-allinone-2.34/ns-2.34/
NAM=/home/path/ns-allinone-2.34/nam-1.14/
PATH=$PATH:$XGRAPH:$NS:$NAM
}
save the file and close it. just count your changes that should be equal to 7.
come back to TERMINAL and write
" source ~/.bashrc "
Finally installation is complete.
Now just check that it is running.
type this in TERMINAL
" ns "
% this sign will appear, it seems OK, now type " exit " in TERMINAL .
Now the main step to do. We have to validate NS-2.34 either it will not work.
write this in TERMINAL.
" cd ns-2.34 "
" ./validate "
it will take around 45 minutes in my case I use virtual-box with 1 Gb ram "
Now ENJOY.
