    STEPS TO INSTALL NS2.34 IN UBUNTU 10.10


    Read this article online @ http://bit.ly/netsim

    PROCEDURE 1:

    * Update your ubuntu installation

    $sudo apt-get update

    * Install ns2.34, nam and xgraph

    $sudo apt-get install ns nam xgraph

    Thats all!

    ***
    PROCEDURE 2:

    Step1: Download the ns-allinone-2.34 from this site:


    http://bit.ly/downloadns

    Step2: Place the ns-allinone-2.34.tar.gz package in your home


    folder(/home/micman in my case). Right click the package and
    extract the contents in the same folder.

    Step3: Next, open the Terminal(Applications-->Accessories-->Terminal)

    Step4: Change to ns-allinone2.34 directory


    $ cd /home/micman/ns-allinone-2.34

    Step5: First install all the dependencies

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

    Note that we are downgrading the gcc version, as ns2.34 works well with gcc4.3

    Edit Makefile.in found at this location ns-allinone-2.34/otcl-1.13/Makefile.in as


    follows:
    Find the line that says:
    CC= @CC@

    and change it to:


    CC= gcc-4.3
    http://getch.wordpress.com

    Step 6: Begin ns2.34 installation

    $ sudo su
    # ./install

    Step 7: Once the installation is successful i.e without any errors, we need to
    add the path information to the file ~/.bashrc

    # gedit /home/micman/.bashrc

    I remind you once again that micman is my username, replace it with your
    username.

    Step8: Append the following lines to the file ~/.bashrc

    # LD_LIBRARY_PATH

    OTCL_LIB=/home/micman/ns-allinone-2.34/otcl-1.13

    NS2_LIB=/home/micman/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/micman/ns-allinone-2.34/tcl8.4.18/library

    USR_LIB=/usr/lib

    export TCL_LIBRARY=$TCL_LIB:$USR_LIB

    # PATH

    XGRAPH=/home/micman/ns-allinone-2.34/bin:/home/micman/ns-allinone-
    2.34/tcl8.4.18/unix:/home/micman/ns-allinone-2.34/tk8.4.18/unix
    #the above two lines beginning from xgraph and ending with unix should come on the same line

    NS=/home/micman/ns-allinone-2.34/ns-2.34/

    NAM=/home/micman/ns-allinone-2.34/nam-1.14/

    PATH=$PATH:$XGRAPH:$NS:$NAM

    Step 9: For the changes to take effect immediately, do the following:

    # source ~/.bashrc
    http://getch.wordpress.com

    or simply quit the Terminal and open it again.

    Thats all!

    After this, type ns to see % and type nam to show the nam startup window.
    This proves that your installation has been successful.

    INSTALLING NS2.34 IN FEDORA 12
    Installing ns2.34 in Fedora is similar to the above procedure but with small
    changes.
    Steps 1 to 4 remain the same.

    Modified step 5: install all the dependencies

    $ su
    # yum install build-essential autoconf automake libxmu-dev

    Modified step 6:
    # ./install

    Steps 7,8 and 9 remain the same.
