Unable to install NS2 on fedora 5

acid_kewpie · 03-18-2008, 04:08 AM

ok, how about you actually think for yourself a little... as above you are getting "ns: command not found" and going by the info you showed us that is clearly correct. there is obviously an "NS" program though... have you tried to run that??

why you have created so many directories i mean simply copy the ns-allinoe 2.31 patch in your salady directory and un tar it there it will create and a folder there with name ns-allinone 2.31

then simply as super user run ./install from terminal
and follow the steps i have posted just change /your/path as /home/salady
thats all

remove the your current directory and start everything from beginning

still problem again refer me try to copy paste what ever you do and send me through my personal mail kazim425@hotmail.com

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 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
