NS2 installation problems:

I have run through all the installation steps required for installation of NS2.27 onto my system. But I face following problems

Nam has been installed successfully.
ln: creating symbolic link `ns': File exists
ln: creating symbolic link `nam': File exists
Please compile your xgraph separately.
Please compile your gt-itm & sgb2ns separately.
Ns-allinone package has been installed successfully.
Here are the installation places:
tcl8.4.5: /home/sawyer/ns-allinone-2.27/{bin,include,lib}
tk8.4.5: /home/sawyer/ns-allinone-2.27/{bin,include,lib}
otcl: /home/sawyer/ns-allinone-2.27/otcl-1.8
tclcl: /home/sawyer/ns-allinone-2.27/tclcl-1.15
ns: /home/sawyer/ns-allinone-2.27/ns-2.27/ns
nam: /home/sawyer/ns-allinone-2.27/nam-1.10/nam

but when I give it returns the following

sawyer@sawyer:~$ nam
nam:
[code omitted because of length]
: no event type or button # or keysym
while executing
"bind Listbox <MouseWheel> {
%W yview scroll [expr {- (%D / 120) * 4}] units
}"


And when I click on to installation paths above tcl8.4.5,tk8.4.5,ns,nam does not open.

What may be the problem !!! .

Next is when I go for validation that is after giving the command


sawyer@sawyer:~/ns-allinone-2.27/ns-2.27$ ./validate


Test output agrees with reference output
All test output agrees with reference output.
*** ./test-all-rng

../../ns test-suite-rng.tcl rngtest QUIET
Test output agrees with reference output

These messages are NOT errors and can be ignored:

validate overall report: some tests failed:
./test-all-newreno ./test-all-red
to re-run a specific test, cd tcl/test; ./test-all-TEST-NAME
Notice that some tests in webcache will fail on freebsd when -O is turned on.
This is due to some event reordering, which will disappear when -g is turned on.


Please let me know wat all are the extra packages to be installed. bcoz I am using old version of Ns2 on Ubuntu9.10

Thank you,
Sawyer

Hi,

I'm doing a project in ns2. I need some help with the commands. Is there any tutorial or link that gives a detailed understanding of the tcl scripts as we're unable to follow them much.
I would also like to know what the following command does..
if {[$class info instprocs config] != ""} {
$self config $ns
}
This is in the test-suite-algorouting.tcl in ns2.

edit the makefile.in and otcl folder file by adding the line in previous suggestion

Hi
I need your help, I am using Ubuntu 10.10 that has installed on virtual box on my PC and I need to install NS2 on ubuntu10.10, but once I execute this command:

sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libxmu-dev

I receive this messages:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package autoconf is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Unable to locate package build-essential
E: Package 'autoconf' has no installation candidate
E: Unable to locate package automake
E: Unable to locate package libxmu-dev
w0090766@w0090766-VirtualBox:~/test/ns-allinone-2.34$

What is my mistake, or what I should do to install NS2 on this system?

Could you just install ns2 via the Ubuntu Software Center?
