This is an example of the NS2-AllInOne-2.33 installation for Ubuntu 8.04.
Download the most recent Ns-2-AllinOne-2.33 from Sourceforge.
Suppose that there is "ns-allinone-2.33.tar.gz" in current directory (e.g. "~/" for me is "/home/mm").
All steps are done in Terminal, so open a terminal in Accessories/Terminal.
To extract the file:
tar xvfz ./ns-allinone-2.33.tar.gz
Go into extracted directory:
cd ns-allinone-2.33
Download required packages:
sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libxmu-dev
Start installation:
./install
Set environment parameter:
gedit ~/.bashrc
Then at the last line, append the following text with changing "/your/path" to the directory that contains "ns-allinone-2.33". (e.g. "/home/mm/" )
# LD_LIBRARY_PATH
OTCL_LIB=/home/mm/ns-allinone-2.33/otcl-1.13
NS2_LIB=/home/mm/ns-allinone-2.33/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:$USR_LOCAL_LIB
# TCL_LIBRARY
TCL_LIB=/home/mm/ns-allinone-2.33/tcl8.4.18/library
USR_LIB=/usr/lib
export TCL_LIBRARY=$TCL_LIB:$USR_LIB
# PATH
XGRAPH=/home/mm/ns-allinone-2.33/bin:/home/mm/ns-allinone-2.33/tcl8.4.18/unix:/home/mm/ns-allinone-2.33/tk8.4.18/unix
NS=/home/mm/ns-allinone-2.33/ns-2.33/
NAM=/home/mm/ns-allinone-2.33/nam-1.13/
PATH=$PATH:$XGRAPH:$NS:$NAM

By the way - if you whant to startup ns binary from elsewhere except your installation directory you'll see some ubuntu's 'programm not found' message. I've been seeking for solving of this problem, but even on ubuntu forum this question is not answered. But solution is very simple. you just need to 'make install' ns and nam modules.
ReplyDeleteP.S.: Thanks for writing this blog
when run %ns, what ouput will appear ?
ReplyDeleteIs this?

But i look at the another source, the when type command %ns, the output must be %.
Which one is right?
I already post full HOWTO as comment on this post, but probably it was premoderated, or something like that.
ReplyDeletevanilla bean - right output - %
Outup that you have - is result of work another program which default in Ubuntu. Start your ns binary directly from bin directory and this solve your problem.
How do I get the following error when running the tracegraph: ./trgraph: error while loading shared libraries: libmwsgl.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
ReplyDeletesomeone knows the solution, and check it all the way and my mail is aulitorres@gmail.com
Can you send for me a copy RSVP-TE patch for ns-2.26 and ns-2.33?
