#14...means i have to install ns2.26???

# 16

Yes.

And please install to /home/<your-username>/ for best convenience.

one more question.....we have to installl ns evrytime a new file is copied and it consumes much time....if we want ti installl ony ns ant not all..then make will work??

or some othet procedure???

#18.

That's why we have the 'ns-allinone' packages :
You will also get the versions of tcl8* tk8* otcl tclcl,
that work with the particular version of ns-2.xx.

Some ns versions can (sometimes with advantage) use later versions of tcl etc.

NS-2.26 can only use the versions in the ns-allinone-2.26 package.

.

thanks...@ knudfl....downloaded ns-allinone2.26....now installing on ubuntu 10.10..lets see now it will work or not..fingers crossed...

insatlling steps???there are some ???

while insatlling ns2.26 on ubuntu 10.10....the error is:--

do resolve this.....

# 22, # 23
You are not using gcc version 4.1, but version 4.4.5 .
And : The Ubuntu gcc-4.1 may not work. (Not yet tested with ns-2.26.)

Please go back and read post # 14 about Ubuntu 10.10 :
Download and use the described gcc41-compat / g++41-compat.


And : The install command is not './install', but
export CC=gcc41 CXX=g++41 && ./install

# 25
That's because no gcc34 is installed on your OS.

.

iss.......OTcl 1.0a3 doesn't compile with tcl 8.0.3 and 8.0.4????then what??

now tell me what i have to do???

which gcc ti instllland how???

# 27
Is this some typos ? Defenitely not ns-allinone-2.26 !
Please use http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/dist/ns-allinone-2.26.tar.gz
→ → ns-allinone-2.26.tar.gz

Contains tcl8.3.2, tk8.3.2, otcl-1.0a8, tclcl-1.0b3 .

ns2.26 is same..patch is there and g++41 and gcc41-compat-4.1 is there..now what steps to follow??
