Ns2.34 Installation insturction on Ubuntu 10.04

tar -xzvf ns-allinone-2.32.tar.gz
$ cd ns-allinone-2.32
(before install ns-2 you will need the packages that are shown below )
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libxmu-dev

$ sudo apt-get install libx11-dev libxmu-dev libxmu-headers libxt-dev libtool
$ sudo apt-get install dpkg-dev g++ libc6-dev make
$ sudo apt-get install tcl8.4 tk8.4
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential

These packages might be dependent on each other so I remember installing the packages in reverse order.

Install the development files for X Windows plus the g++ compiler:sudo apt-get install xorg-dev g++ xgraph

Fix the error in the linking of otcl by editing line 6304 of otcl-1.13/configure so that it readsSHLIB_LD="gcc -shared"
instead ofSHLIB_LD="ld -shared"

$ sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libxmu-dev gcc-4.3 

instead of the previous command would require to change the Makefile.in

Since my version was compatible I did not change it.

Change ns-allinone-2.34/otcl-1.13/Makefile.in. Find the line that says:

CC=    @CC@
and change it to
CC=    gcc-4.3

  

Now run this command

Come back to ns-allinone-2.34 folder.
$./install

after install ns-2 you should introduce ns-2 to your computer and edit the bash file
$ gedit ~/.bashrc

I added these lines at the end. Change the path accordingly.

#LD_LIBRARY_PATH
OTCL_LIB=/home/pushpita/ns-allinone-2.34/otcl-1.13
NS2_LIB=/home/pushpita/ns-allinone-2.34/lib
USR_LOCAL_LIB=/usr/local/lib
export
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$otc
#TCL_LIBRARY
TCL_LIB=/home/pushpita/ns-allinone-2.34/tcl8.4.18/library

export TCL_LIBRARY=$TCL_LIB:$USR_LIB

NS=/home/pushpita/ns-allinone-2.34/ns-2.34/
NAM=/home/pushpita/ns-allinone-2.34/nam-1.14/
PATH=$PATH:$XGRAPH:$NS:$NAM

$ source ~/.bashrc
you should write command at the above, otherwise you cant write ns2 succesfully
Now, open new console and write ns, you will see % at the console.
be carefull!!! you can see % after write ns at any path...by the way to exit from % you
should write “exit” on your console.

 
Validation
After these steps, you can now run the ns
validation suite with
$ cd ns-2.34 $ ./validate
after this process you can run som
