Welcome to LQ!
You miss GCC, in fact you miss entire GNU toolchain. Can't tell you where to get these for FC5. Even FC6 is no longer supported. Do you have all install disks? Would you consider a newer, supported version of Linux? |
Linux version
ok then which Linux version is supportable to install ns package ?

steps to install ns2 in fedora
you can follow these steps in any linux environment
INSTALLING NS-2 ON FEDORA 8 STEP 1 From terminal login as super user and do the following.(internet must also be connected in order to install the package dependencies. yum install autoconf yum install automake yum install gcc-c++ yum install libX11-devel yum install xorg-x11-proto-devel yum install libXt-devel And for nam installation (optional): yum install libXmu-devel STEP 2 From terminal go to the folder where the ns-allinone patch is placed and type the following to extract $ tar -xzf ns-allinone-2.31.tar.gz $ cd ns-allinone-2.29 $. /install STEP 3 Now go to /etc folder and type gedit ~/.bashrc Add the following lines to the end of it. Remember replace "/your/path" by something like "/home/kazim". And accordingly also change the version numbers. This is for ns 2.31. # LD_LIBRARY_PATH OTCL_LIB=/your/path/ns-allinone-2.31/otcl-1.13 NS2_LIB=/your/path/ns-allinone-2.31/lib X11_LIB=/usr/X11R6/lib USR_LOCAL_LIB=/usr/local/lib export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$OTCL_LIB:$NS2_LIB:$X11_LIB:$USR_LOCAL_LIB # TCL_LIBRARY TCL_LIB=/your/path/ns-allinone-2.31/tcl8.4.14/library USR_LIB=/usr/lib export TCL_LIBRARY=$TCL_LIB:$USR_LIB # PATH XGRAPH=/your/path/ns-allinone-2.31/bin:/your/path/ns-allinone-2.31/tcl8.4.14/unix:/your/path/ns-allinone-2.31/tk8.4.14/unix NS=/your/path/ns-allinone-2.31/ns-2.31/ NAM=/your/path/ns-allinone-2.31/nam-1.13/ PATH=$PATH:$XGRAPH:$NS:$NAM Let it take effect immediately source ~/.bashrc Note: the step described above is important; otherwise, you cannot run ns successfully. or you can restart your X windows.i.e. logout and then login, or reboot your system, to make it work.) Now, the installation has been completed. If you try: $ ns Then a "%" will appear on the screen.type "exit" to quit the mode and back to "$" If you miss out step 1 you may get the following errors Build XGraph-12.1 ============================================================ loading cache ./config.cache checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes checking for working aclocal... missing checking for working autoconf... missing checking for working automake... missing checking for working autoheader... missing checking for working makeinfo... missing checking if malloc debugging is wanted... no checking for gcc... no checking for cc... no configure: error: no acceptable cc found in $PATH make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. Can not create xgraph; But xgraph is an optional package, continuing... If you miss step 3 At the prompt when you type ns you will get Ns command not found |
i followed the steps exactly as mentioned below....
STEP 2 From terminal go to the folder where the ns-allinone patch is placed and type the following to extract $ tar -xzf ns-allinone-2.31.tar.gz $ cd ns-allinone-2.29 $. /install STEP 3 Now go to /etc folder and type gedit ~/.bashrc Add the following lines to the end of it. Remember replace "/your/path" by something like "/home/kazim". And accordingly also change the version numbers. This is for ns 2.31. # LD_LIBRARY_PATH OTCL_LIB=/your/path/ns-allinone-2.31/otcl-1.13 NS2_LIB=/your/path/ns-allinone-2.31/lib X11_LIB=/usr/X11R6/lib USR_LOCAL_LIB=/usr/local/lib export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$OTCL_LIB:$NS2_LIB:$X11_LIB:$USR_LOCAL_LIB # TCL_LIBRARY TCL_LIB=/your/path/ns-allinone-2.31/tcl8.4.14/library USR_LIB=/usr/lib export TCL_LIBRARY=$TCL_LIB:$USR_LIB # PATH XGRAPH=/your/path/ns-allinone-2.31/bin:/your/path/ns-allinone-2.31/tcl8.4.14/unix:/your/path/ns-allinone-2.31/tk8.4.14/unix NS=/your/path/ns-allinone-2.31/ns-2.31/ NAM=/your/path/ns-allinone-2.31/nam-1.13/ PATH=$PATH:$XGRAPH:$NS:$NAM then i gave source ~/.bashrc i then typed ns bash: ns: command not found.... whats wrong????please help..i have tried almost 10 times the same thing..but not succesful...sumone help!!!!!!1 |
well at that level, you have a path issue potentially. it looks like the binary should be in /your/path/ns-allinone-2.31/ns-2.31/ is it?

then added the following lines PATH=$PATH:/home/salady/ns2new/ns-2.31/bin export PATH PATH=$PATH:/home/salady/ns2new/ns-2.31/tcl8.4.14/unix export PATH PATH=$PATH:/home/salady/ns2new/ns-2.31/tk8.4.18/unix export PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/home/salady/ns2new/ns-2.31/otcl-1.13:/home/salady/ns2new/ns-2.31/lib export LD_LIBRARY_PATH TCL_LIBRARY=$TCL_LIBRARY:/home/salady/ns2new/ns-2.31/tcl8.4.14/library export TCL_LIBRARY then gave source ~/.bashrc then tried ns bash:ns command not found... wat to do? |
well, as above, is the ns binary actually there?

ok, just show us what is in the /home/salady/ns2new/ns-2.31/bin directory. that's where the "ns" program should be i assume.
|
gedit ~/.bashrc
copy and paste this # LD_LIBRARY_PATH OTCL_LIB=/home/salady/ns2new/otcl-1.13 NS2_LIB=/home/salady/ns2new/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:$USR_LOCAL_LIB # TCL_LIBRARY TCL_LIB=/home/salady/ns2new/tcl8.4.14/library USR_LIB=/usr/lib export TCL_LIBRARY=$TCL_LIB:$USR_LIB # PATH XGRAPH=/home/salady/ns2new/bin:/home/salady/ns2new/tcl8.4.14/unix:/home/salady/ns2new/tk8.4.14/unix NS=/home/salady/ns2new/ns-2.31/ NAM=/home/salady/ns2new/nam-1.13/ PATH=$PATH:$XGRAPH:$NS:$NAM source ~/.bashrc restart system if still it says no ns found then just run ./install again when installation completes try ns from propmt if still there is problem send me the screenshots of the steps you do |
