running NS2 on Fedora 10

[ratnesh1729]

thanks for reply.. can you please give the commands for configuring again..... srry for the trouble..

If you are taking ns2 at piece you can try this http://nslab.ee.ntu.edu.tw/courses/n...labs/lab1.html
If you are using allinone... "The package contains an "install" script to automatically configure, compile and install these components. After downloading, run the install script".

I hope this help, I'm a newbie such as you

Hi, I'm a newbie here and I am using ns-allinone.2.33 on Cygwin, so can you be more specific on how to configure and make all tk, otcl, tclcl and ns2?

I have configure and make tk8.4.18 following the previous post and I am still getting the same problem.

Please help

[Nowhere82]

I'd suggest you to configure and "make clean" and "make" again otcl, tclcl, ns2 after tk.
But if you use allinone the script should do this for you...but I haven't ever seen it so I'm not sure. Also, be sure you haven't ns.exe anywhere (bin folder for example).

m a newbie, using ubuntu and i installed NS-2 2.33 today and while running .tcl examples i got same error as mentioned in first post.).

I use ns2.33 (ns-allinone-2.33 package) on ubuntu 9.04 and had exactly this problem with nam. After extracting the package ns-allinone-2.33 modify /ns-allinone-2.33/tk8.4.18/generic/tkBind.c according to folowing line numbers and save it:
....
line 588 : /* MappingNotify */ 0,
line 589 : #ifdef GenericEvent
line 590 : /* GenericEvent */ 0,
line 591 : #endif
line 592 : /* VirtualEvent */ VIRTUAL,
....
then install/reinstal package ns-allinone-2.33.

it easily works.

Hello,

Recently ive installed ns2.33 on fedora 10 and got problem with nam which does not start. I did modify tk.h and tkBind.c files manually as inserting codes below:

tkBind.c :
#ifdef GenericEvent
/* GenericEvent */ 0,
#endif

tk.h :
#define VirtualEvent (MappingNotify + 1)
#define ActivateNotify (MappingNotify + 2)
#define DeactivateNotify (MappingNotify + 3)
#define MouseWheelEvent (MappingNotify + 4)
#define TK_LASTEVENT (MappingNotify + 5)

After all these modification, i go into my tk8.4.18/generic/unix, otcl, tclcl and ns2.33 folders and did:
./configure and make

But same problem with Nam still appears. Can you please tell what and how I should step by step...... Please, so sorry for im really noob for Linux and ns2
Thank you

Hi I am using ns-allinone-2.31, which uses tk8.4.14. I encounter the same problem
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
}"
invoked from within
"if {[tk windowingsystem] eq "classic" || [tk windowingsystem] eq "aqua"} {
bind Listbox <MouseWheel> {
%W yview scroll [expr {- (%D)}] units
}
bind Li..."

I need to stick to version 2.31 because it is the one what works with the nist wimax patch. Is there any way to solve the problem. I am new linux user.

I tried Badar Abbas 's solution. It does not work. I do not know if it is because i am using tk8.4.14 and the patches are for tk8.4.18 or because I did it wrong. What I did was I changed the tk8.4.14/generic/tkBind.c to

#ifdef GenericEvent
/* GenericEvent*/ 0,
#endif
/* VirtualEvent */ VIRTUAL,
/* Activate */ ACTIVATE,

and change the tk.h to

#define VirtualEvent (MappingNotify + 1)
#define ActivateNotify (MappingNotify + 2)
#define DeactivateNotify (MappingNotify + 3)
#define MouseWheelEvent (MappingNotify + 4)
#define TK_LASTEVENT (MappingNotify + 5)

#define MouseWheelMask (1L << 28)
#define ActivateMask (1L << 29)
#define VirtualEventMask (1L << 30)

Hi,
I continue to get the same error as in the first post. I have made changes in the tkBind and tk.h files as mentioned in the posts. Then i ran ./configure and make for tk,otcl, tclcl and ns2. All this did not help
Can you please tell me how exactly did you solve you problem? I use cygwin for ns-2.

Hello,
I'm trying to install NS2.33 under cygwin but the installation is not finished and I get the following message:
Creating library file: libns.dll.a
g++ -DNSLIBNAME = \”libns.dll\” -Wl, -export-dynamic -o ns common/mai-modular.cc -ldl
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: cannot find ldl
Collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Make: *** [ns] Error 1
Ns Make failed
So please how can I solve this problem or can I use another version of NS2 which goes with the patch of hwmp.
Thanks a lot
Best regards.
