Hello every one
please I need your help to fix my problem to install ns2.33allinone on the ubuntu 10.10 in order to run ZRP protocol for security purpose.
before this time I install every thing correctly as follow
The steps I follow to run the ZRP on the Ubuntu 10.10 and Ns2-allinone-2.33
------------------------------------------------------------------
1. first install the Ubuntu 10.10 on VMwear and download the ns2.33 and exract it in the home directory

2.Ubuntu 10.10 - 32´ is old. you have to replace the text in /etc/apt/sources.list , to be able to install packages.
So you write
$ gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
After the file open remove all the text and past the following text instead it.
#
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick main restricted
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick multiverse universe
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-updates main restricted
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-updates multiverse universe
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-backports main restricted
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-backports multiverse universe
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-security main restricted
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-security multiverse universe
#

Then save the file and close.

3.Write the following command to update the system
$ sudo apt-get update

4.download the two files from the following link and save it in the home directory

gcc41-compat , `gcc41-compat-4.1.2_i386.deb' :
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7S...it?usp=sharing
g++41-compat , `g++41-compat-4.1.2_i386.deb' :
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7S...it?usp=sharing

5.write the following command to install
$ sudo dpkg -i g++41-compat-4.1.2_i386.deb gcc41-compat-4.1.2_i386.deb

6.write the following command to update the packages
$sudo apt-get install libx11-dev libxmu-dev libxmu-headers libxt-dev libtool make automake autoconf g++

7. Download the ZRP from the following link and put it in the ns-allinone-2.33 directory
The latest "patch package" is zrp-ns233-patching.tar.gz
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7S...it?usp=sharing

8. After that you should follow the next steps
$ cd ns-allinone-2.33/
$ tar xvf zrp-ns233-patching.tar.gz
$ export CC=gcc41 CXX=g++41
$ ./install
$ cd ns-2.33/
$ sudo make install

9. Then you can download the example of the ZRP from the following link and run
ZRP examples : zrp-examples-2012.tar.bz2
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7S...it?usp=sharing

but now when i try to install it again i got this error
after i run "./install" command

so please if any one can help me to fix this problem or give me any advice how to run ZRP protocol and the appropriate environment to run it
thanks in advance for your help

Welcome to LQ.

Add 1. ? Are you sure you got the 32bits Ubuntu 10.10 ? (i386 / i686).

Add 5.
$ cd /usr/bin/
$ sudo ln -s ../gcc41/bin/gcc41
$ sudo ln -s ../gcc41/bin/g++41

Add 6. Not an update. Is a package install. And these are the right packages :
$ sudo apt-get install g++ automake libtool make libxmu-dev

Add 7., 8. The updated ZRP patch (2014), post #10 here ...
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...4175519601/#10
""The 'make -k' is written into the file 'install'.""
* Please also read post #12.

Dear Sir
because I new in this environment so I got confuse from reading the post you recommended to me so please if you can help me by list the steps from choose the best version of ubuntu and the ns2 version I can use it to install zrp. now as I wrote in previous post i used the ubuntu 10.10 (i386) and ns2.33allinone with the step I mention but I got the errors.

thanks for your help

Re #3.

The OS choice and the ns2 version isn't critical so far concerns ZRP.
( Unlike some of the other protocols you can add to ns2.)

Ubuntu 10.10 is very good with old ns2 code.
The drawback is that "10.10" is unsupported :
No security updates for years, then it may be unsafe to use.

If you are going to add ZRP only, ns-2.33 is a safe choice.
However I don't remember any issues with ns-2.34 or ns-2.35.

* With WMware you can easily add more OS`s : Free choices unlimited !

Dear Sir
I am sorry if I ask many question I hope to help me in this matter
I am already install fedora 14 32bit with ns2.35allinone on vmware my question is how I can install zrp protocol on it if you guide me with step by step really I will appreciate that.

thanks in advance

Re #5 : ns-2.35, Fedora.

$ cd ns-allinone-2.35/ns-2.35/
$ su
# make install && exit ('make install' will copy 'ns' to /usr/local/bin/.)
$ cp ns ns235-orig (This is your backup of the original 'ns'.)
$ make clean
$ cd ../
$ patch -p0 < zrp-ns235.patch
$ ./install
$ cd ns-2.35/
$ cp ns ns-zrp
$ su
# cp ns-zrp /usr/local/bin/ && exit

Simulation : $ ns-zrp zrp-Demo2-1.tcl
... etc. etc. from the examples ( zrp-examples-2012.tar.bz2 ).
