I am trying to install ns-2.27 on ubuntu 9.10 here is the message that i am getting

/usr/include/bits/pthreadtypes.h: At top level:
/usr/include/bits/pthreadtypes.h:99: warning: unnamed struct/union that defines no instances
./../generic/tclExecute.c: In function `ExprWideFunc':
./../generic/tclExecute.c:5180: `__LONG_LONG_MAX__' undeclared (first use in this function)
./../generic/tclExecute.c:5180: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
./../generic/tclExecute.c:5180: for each function it appears in.)
make: *** [tclExecute.o] Error 1
tcl8.4.5 make failed! Exiting ...

The programme exits while declaring a failure. I hope i get a reply as soon as possible as i have a project due tommorrow and i need to get it working.

Thanks

Ubuntu 9.10 have reached end of life (EOL), you should consider upgrading. It will also solve your problem, at least it should, because your app will already have a recent version, no need to compile a new one.

The release following 9.10 is 10.04, it is a long term release, you can stop there to have a supported version, but upgrading to 11.04 is the best idea.
