Hi !
I try to install ns-2.26 on Fedora 11 like your guide, but it inform that "NS make fail" when I do command "./install". Could you please provide me some specific steps to install ns-2.26 on Fedora 11. Thanks a lot.

HI !

Could you tell me the version of Fedora suitable with NS2-2.26 (do not need using ns226.patch)

I really need it to install NS2-2.26.
Thanks in advanced !

Hi,

NS-2.26 requires very old version of gcc (may be gcc-3.3 or even less than that). Instead of re-installing Fedora you can try to install older version of gcc on your present Fedora version.

NS-2.26 works well with Fedora 8 if you apply the patch given above(ns226.patch).

Hope it helps.

Hi
am trying to do MAODV code in ns2.35. i got errors while am running ./install. do u have any idea in this. plz help me mohit........

@Amp A - I have not worked with MAODV in ns-2.35. Can you mention what is the error that you are getting while installation?

Regards,
Mohit P. Tahiliani

Hello sir,
Is it possible to get different color for packet transmission among nodes in wireless network? how ?

My another query is while executing throughput awk script i'm getting error as,
Begin {
' in expression:1: ^ invalid char '
Please rectify my two queries

@Jothi Rajan - Yes, you can configure different colors for packet transmission in wireless network. See the example given on the link below:

http://tinyurl.com/color-wireless

Regarding calculation of throughput:

I recommend you to use "genthroughput.awk" provided on the link given below to calculate throughput.

http://mohittahiliani.blogspot.in/2010/02/few-more-awk-scripts-for-ns2.html

Note that "genthroughput.awk" works only for old trace file formats. If you have a new trace file format, use "throughput_newtrace.awk" provided on the link below:

Hope it helps.

Hello SIr,

I am trying to implement MAODV protocol in ns2.35 on ubuntu 10.04 but I think MAODV doesnt support ns2.35 as it was built on ns2.26. But when I tried installing ns2.26 on the same OS, it gives error.
Please suggest how should I install ns2.26 on ubuntu 10.04 successfully.
Thanks.

Respected Sir,

I followed the steps as you have mentioned above and I am facing the
following error during the installation process.

*********************
make: *** No rule to make target `VERSION', needed by `gen/version.c'. Stop.
Ns make failed!
See http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/ns-problems.html for problems

The gcc and g++ version are 4.1.2


Please guide me through the solution.
