Installing ns2.34 On Ubuntu 9.10 (32 Bit) : 2.34.tar - Gz/download or From Any Where Else

The document provides instructions for installing ns2 network simulator on Ubuntu 9.10 (32-bit). It involves downloading the ns2 files, extracting and copying them to the desired location, installing dependencies through apt-get, configuring environment variables in .bashrc to reference ns2 paths, running the installer and validator scripts, creating a symlink to call ns2 from any location, and rebooting. Upon reboot, running the 'ns' command should start the ns2 shell if installed successfully.

Installing ns2.34 on Ubuntu 9.

10 (32 bit)
(1) Download ns2.34 http://sourceforge.net/projects/nsnam/files/allinone/ns-allinone-2.34/ns-allinone2.34.tar.gz/download or from any where else. (2) Unzip the ns-allinone-2.34.tar.gz to any place where you want to install your ns. In my case I want to unzip it in /home/gz/ (note that my zipped folder of ns2 was in /home/gz) $ cd /home/gz $ tar -xzvf ns-allinone-2.34.tar.gz (3) $cd ns-allinone-2.34 (4) $sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libxmudev (5) $./install Errors: It will take some time. After this step you may encounter some errors like the following snapshot gcc-4.3: command not found make: *** [libotcl.so] Error 1 otcl-1.13 make failed! Exiting ...

If you get the errors as above, follow the steps from 5.1 to 5.6, otherwise go to step (6) 5.1 $gedit otcl-1.13/Makefile.in 5.2 edit the file as follows: old file snapshot

new file

5.3 $sudo apt-get install g++-4.3 5.4 $cd ns-allinone-2.34 5.5 ns-allinone-2.34$CC=gcc-4.3 CXX=g++-4.3 ./install 5.6 You are done if you get the following screen

(6) $ gedit ~/.bashrc It will open the file shown below. Edit the lines that are highlighted according to your path of ns2. I installed my ns2 in /home/gz/ns-allinone-2.34 # LD_LIBRARY_PATH OTCL_LIB=/home/gz/ns-allinone-2.34/otcl-1.13 NS2_LIB=/home/gz/ns-allinone-2.34/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=/home/gz/ns-allinone-2.34/tcl8.4.18/library USR_LIB=/usr/lib export TCL_LIBRARY=$TCL_LIB:$USR_LIB # PATH XGRAPH=/home/gz/ns-allinone-2.34/bin:/home/gz/Downloads/ns-allinone-

(10) Create a symlink, so that ns can be called from everywhere $ sudo ln -s /home/gz/ns-allinone-2.33/ns-2.33/ns /usr/bin/ns (11) $reboot To restart the system. (12) To check whether ns is installed successfully or not, test it by entering $ns. If you are prompted with %, it means your installation is successful otherwise check your environment variables, specifically compare the versions of otcl, nam etc in ./bashrc with those in your ns-allinone-2.34. press exit to go back from %.
