Help me with the installation process with Ubuntu 10.04.

A. Easy way:

 

1. type this command in your console:

 

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:wouterh/ppa

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install ns2 nam xgraph

 

2. after the installation finished, run the program by typing in your console:

 

nam

 

B. The Hard Way:

 

1. Run this command in your console:

 

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libxmu-dev libxt-dev libxt6 libsm-dev libsm6 libice-dev libice6 vim

 

2. Download ns-allinone.2.34.tar.gz package from this URL:

 

https://sourceforge.net/projects/nsnam/files/allinone/ns-allinone-2.34/

 

3. Now extract the file, by right-clicking and choose "extract here"

4. Now open your terminal, and change the directory to the extracted package:

 

cd ns-allinone.2.34/

 

5. Run the install

 

./install

 

6. You might hit the error like this:

 

otcl-1.13 make failed! Exiting

 

7. And here is the solution

8. Run this command on your console:

 

gedit otcl-1.13/configure &

 

9. Looks for this lines: 

 

Linux*)

SHLIB_CFLAGS="-fpic"

SHLIB_LD="ld -shared"

SHLIB_SUFFIX=".so"

DL_LIBS="-ldl"

SHLD_FLAGS=""

;;

 

10. and replace with:

 

Linux*)

SHLIB_CFLAGS="-fpic"

SHLIB_LD="gcc -shared"

SHLIB_SUFFIX=".so"

DL_LIBS="-ldl"

SHLD_FLAGS=""

;;
