NS2 in Ubuntu 10.04
I spent a reasonably long time getting NS-2 (ns-allinone-2.34) to work in Ubuntu 10.04. Here’s how I finally did it:
Install necessary tools for building:
sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libxmu-dev gcc-4.3
It turns out that otcl does not like the version of gcc installed by default in Lucid. So go ahead and change ns-allinone-2.34/otcl-1.13/Makefile.in
. Find the line that says:
CC= @CC@
and change it to:
CC= gcc-4.3
Now try doing ./install
from the ns-allinone-2.34 directory. It should work.
