NS2 otcl problem

[adnan_s]

Hy, I've downloaded the ''ns-allinone-2.34''.

I've make a directory in my home folder and past the source files there.

When I make the installation I become this message:

otcl.o: In function `OTclDispatch':
/home/adnan/ns2_adnan/ns-allinone-2.34/otcl-1.13/otcl.c:495: undefined reference to `__stack_chk_fail_local'

hi

i have somethings like that
you should change your makefile.in in otcl folder
line 7 change the "CC" to "gcc-4.3"
not the "CC" ! something wroten in front of the "CC"
you can also change the user to the "root"
change the password and use the "root" user
it's the administrator

good like

Hi mirza_farid,

I have the exact same problem and your tip did not worked.
Do you have any other idea?

Thanks for replay!

Hi tomneb and adnan_s,

If you are still having the problem then you can try the following. I faced the same problem and could fix it in the following way:

1. Locate the configure.in file in the otcl folder of ns-allinone-2.34.
2. Open it using your favorite editor.
3. Locate the following lines:

;;
Linux*)
SHLIB_CFLAGS="-fpic"
SHLIB_LD="ld -shared"
SHLIB_SUFFIX=".so"
DL_LIBS="-ldl"
SHLD_FLAGS=""

4. Add the following line after SHLIB_LD="ld -shared"

SHLIB_LD="${CC} -shared"

5. In the terminal navigate to the otcl folder under ns-allinone-2.34.
6. Issue autoconf.
7. If autoconf is not installed you can use sudo apt-get install autoconf2.13
8. Once autoconf is done issue ./configue and then make.

This should successfully install OTcl.
