Please start reading all http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/tags/zrp/

Get the examples, zrp-examples-2012.tar.bz2
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B7S2...it?usp=sharing

And install the Ubuntu zrp package, zrp-ns-2.33-ubu1010_i386.deb
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B7S2...it?usp=sharing
.. with $ sudo dpkg -i zrp-ns-2.33-ubu1010_i386.deb
.. or click the package, and use your 'Package Installer'.
.. Then you can run all the examples with : $ ns-zrp <file>.tcl


If you want to build your own zrp version, it's "ns-allinone-2.33" :
Install the compilers, ref. post # 18 here :
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...022/page2.html
*** Be aware that the compilers are for a 32bits (i686) Ubuntu 12.04 only.
*** ( A 64bits OS (x86_64) is not good with ns2 ).
ZRP : a) $ cd ns-allinone-2.33/ && export CC=gcc41 CXX=g++41 && ./install

b) #6 http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...34-a-905025/#6
.. where line 37 in the Makefile must be edited to : CPP = g++41

sir knudfl, excuse me may you help me about how can i install ZRP package for ubuntu which you posted.
zrp-ns-2.33-ubu1010_i386.deb do i have to install ubuntu version 10.10 only?
how about ubuntu 12.04? its alright?
thanks sir.

# 3 .

Ref. post #2 : You can install zrp-ns-2.33-ubu1010_i386.deb into Ubuntu 12.04.
If the OS shows `i686' with the command $ uname -m

The package works equally well, all Ubuntu 10.04 ... 13.**

im already instal gcc 4.1.2 for zrp patch or i install zrp package but still wont work
please help me

Please put /home/jap/ns-allinone-2.33/bin:/home/jap/ns-allinone-2.33/tcl8.4.18/unix:/home/jap/ns-allinone-2.33/tk8.4.18/unix
into your PATH environment; so that you'll be able to run itm/tclsh/wish/xgraph.

IMPORTANT NOTICES:

(1) You MUST put /home/jap/ns-allinone-2.33/otcl-1.13, /home/jap/ns-allinone-2.33/lib,
into your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.
If it complains about X libraries, add path to your X libraries
into LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
If you are using csh, you can set it like:
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH <paths>
If you are using sh, you can set it like:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<paths>

(2) You MUST put /home/jap/ns-allinone-2.33/tcl8.4.18/library into your TCL_LIBRARY environmental
variable. Otherwise ns/nam will complain during startup.


After these steps, you can now run the ns validation suite with
cd ns-2.33; ./validate

For trouble shooting, please first read ns problems page
http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/ns-problems.html. Also search the ns mailing list archive
for related posts.

im guess ns 2.33 already Installed,

error when sudo gedit ~/.bashrc


# ~/.bashrc: executed by bash(1) for non-login shells.
# see /usr/share/doc/bash/examples/startup-files (in the package bash-doc)
# for examples


i am already install $ sudo dpkg -i zrp-ns-2.33-ubu1010_i386.deb
and im trying to run your example but

jap@jap-GA-MA770T-UD3P:~$ cd zrp-examples
jap@jap-GA-MA770T-UD3P:~/zrp-examples$ ns-zrp example.tcl

please help me sir

# 6 .
First : Please edit post #6 to use code tags for all the quoted (wrong) instructions.
And also use 'code tags' for your "error output". Edit, please.
Code tags : That's the " # " button in the 'Advanced Editor'.
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi....php?do=bbcode
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...gs-4175464257/



No PATH* settings are required. That's a "University thing".
Never add anything to .bashrc, when it is your own computer.
This will do : $ cd ns-allinone-2.33/ns-2.33/ && sudo make install
.. I.e. 'make install' will copy 'ns' to /usr/local/bin/



You have chosen the only example that doesn't work.
! Use zrp-examples-2012.tar.bz2 : Please read post #2.!
! And all this http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/tags/zrp/
I.e. example.tcl was edited to example-zrp.tcl

ok, sorry
sir, ns already in user local bin.

im run your example, but same following errors

jap@jap-GA-MA770T-UD3P:~$ cd zrp-examples

my steps installation

1.install gcc 4.1.2, gcc for zrp patch
2.export CC=gcc-4.1 CXX=g++-4.1 && ./install
3.tar -xvf ns-allinone-2.33.tar.gz
4.cd ns-allinone-2.33.
5.sudo ./install
(edited bashrc, error when sudo gedit ~/.bashrc

6.$ sudo dpkg -i zrp-ns-2.33-ubu1010_i386.deb (zrp patch)
7.$ cd ns-allinone-2.33/ns-2.33/ && sudo make install (your recent intruction)

whats wrong sir? please help
i need patch zrp
i am trying to performance comparison AODV and ZRP.

# 8 .
Repeat Repeat : You have chosen the only example that doesn't work : Post #7.
"example.tcl" is included only for historical reason. Not usable as is.
Read the files example.tcl and example-zrp.tcl, to know the difference.
You can see the editing here http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/tags/zrp/


Not required. See post #7.


Also not required. And : No ns2 / zrp commands are to be done as root !


Wrong : Do not use 'sudo' for the build command.


That's not a patch. The .deb package is a complete build of ns2 / zrp :
I.e. you don't have to build anything ns-allinone / zrp,
when the package is installed → →
Using the package executable, example : $ ns-zrp example-zrp
.. Which you'd know after reading http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/tags/zrp/

oh i see.
sir knudfl, i follow your installation instruction


#5 : http://magnet.daiict.ac.in/magnet_me...n.html#Sec_1.2

http://magnet.daiict.ac.in/magnet_me....33_ZRP.tar.gz
http://magnet.daiict.ac.in/magnet_me...PatchZRP.patch
http://magnet.daiict.ac.in/magnet_me.../patchmyZRP.sh

It is assumed, that you have a working ns-allinone-2.33,
i.e. the './install' command was run with no errors.

""Section 3.2 Instructions :
1. First put following files into NS-2 home's parent directory:
* ns-allinone-2.33_ZRP.tar.gz (This contains my code)
* PatchZRP.patch
* patchmyZRP.sh (THIS SHELL-SCRIPT FILE -
This script file should be run from NS-2 home' parent directory)
2. Run patchZRP.sh from shell."" ( Like 'sh patchZRP.sh' ).
.....

But the script patchZRP.sh isn't working, easier to do manually :
a) cd ns-allinone-2.33/ && patch -p1 < PatchZRP.patch
b) touch ns-2.33/common/packet.h && touch ns-2.33/trace/cmu-trace.h
c) cd ../ && tar xvf ns-allinone-2.33_ZRP.tar.gz
d) cd ns-allinone-2.33/ns-2.33 && make -k

step D i got this

for i in indep-utils/cmu-scen-gen/setdest indep-utils/webtrace-conv/dec indep-utils/webtrace-conv/epa indep-utils/webtrace-conv/nlanr indep-utils/webtrace-conv/ucb; do ( cd $i; make all; ) done
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jap/BLA/ns-allinone-2.33/ns-2.33/indep-utils/cmu-scen-gen/setdest'
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/jap/BLA/ns-allinone-2.33/ns-2.33/indep-utils/webtrace-conv/dec'

sir, whats wrong?

im trying to excute example but

invalid command name "Agent/ZRP"
while executing
"Agent/ZRP set radius_ 2 "
(file "example-zrpp.tcl" line 68)

its about compiler?

ty sir

# 10 .
What do you mean ?
Nothing to be done for `all' :
Is the normal reply from 'make', when you do 'make' the second time, etc.


You are using an executable 'ns' with no ZRP !
a) May be you have more than one "ns" ?
Rename the zrp ns to 'ns-zrp' : $ ns-zrp example-zrp.tcl
b) Or you could have a failed build.

P.S. : ? Why are are quoting the text that has the comment : "Do not do this" ?
If you used this, you will have to start from scratch, I guess.

sir knudfl, i delete all my ns 2.

i am trying to repeat the installation
1.First put following files into NS-2 home's parent directory:
* ns-allinone-2.33_ZRP.tar.gz (This contains my code)
* PatchZRP.patch
* patchmyZRP.sh (THIS SHELL-SCRIPT FILE )

2. do
a) cd ns-allinone-2.33/ && patch -p1 < PatchZRP.patch
b) touch ns-2.33/common/packet.h && touch ns-2.33/trace/cmu-trace.h
c) cd ../ && tar xvf ns-allinone-2.33_ZRP.tar.gz
d) cd ns-allinone-2.33/ns-2.33 && make -k


3. run examples
but still

jap@jap-GA-MA770T-UD3P:~/zrp-examples$ ns example-zrp.tcl
invalid command name "Agent/ZRP"
while executing
"Agent/ZRP set radius_ 2 "
(file "example-zrp.tcl" line 68)


ap@jap-GA-MA770T-UD3P:~/zrp-examples$ ns zrp-Demo1-1.tcl
invalid command name "Agent/ZRP"
while executing

please help me to solve this

# 12 .

Ubuntu 12.04 : Is it 32bits (i686) ?
Please show the output from the command $ uname -m <Enter>


Are you sure that the right compiler is used ?
Ref. post #2 :
" .. line 37 in the Makefile must be edited to : CPP = g++41 "
I.e. a `g++ version 4.1.2' must be used.

-

sir knudfl, here is

jap@jap-GA-MA770T-UD3P:~$ uname -m
i686

$ sudo dpkg -i zrp-ns-2.33-ubu1010_i386.deb

already did

what make file?

# 14 .
There is one Makefile only in the directory, where you so $ make -k
... that's ns-allinone-2.33/ns-2.33/Makefile


Compilers :
Please install "gcc41-compat-4.1.2.ubu1204_i386.deb g++41-compat-4.1.2_i386.deb",
ref. post #18 here ..
