ns 2.35 fedora 16

Step 1:

NS is a event simulator, which can be used primarily for networking research. It provides support for simulation of TCP, routing, and multicast protocols over both wired and wireless networks.

NS can be installed on computers that run on Windows and Unix/Linux. Most use it on Linux system. This post will help you in installing Network Simulator 2 version NS2.35 in Fedora 16.

Install Fedora 16 using a DVD ISO

Step 2:

Download file :

 NS-alliance 2. 34

 Step 3 :

 cd ns-alliance 2.34

 ./install

 Step 4:

  yum install gcc-c++
    yum install tcl-devel
    yum install libX11-devel (that's one-one)
    yum install libXt-devel

 Step 5:

  vi /home/username/.bash_profile

   cd ~

   vi .bash_profile--> copy and paste following code.

 

# User specific environment and startup programs

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin,/root/ns-allinone-2.34/bin:/root/ns-allinone-2.34/tcl8.4.18/unix:/root/ns-allinone-2.34/tk8.4.18/unix:/root/ns-allinone-2.34/nam-1.14/

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PATH:/root/ns-allinone-2.34/otcl-1.13, /root/ns-allinone-2.34/lib

TCL_LIBRARY=$PATH:/root/ns-allinone-2.34/tcl8.4.18/library

export PATH 

Step 6:

[root@ashish ~]# source ~/.bash_profile

[root@ashish ~]#gedit ~/.bashrc

then I have added these lines on the file .bshrc

# LD_LIBRARY_PATH
OTCL_LIB=/home/Myname/ns-allinone-2.34/otcl-1.13
NS2_LIB=/home/Myname/ns-allinone-2.34/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$OTCL_LIB:$NS2_LIB

# TCL_LIBRARY
TCL_LIB=/home/Myname/ns-allinone-2.34/tcl8.4.18/library
export TCL_LIBRARY=$TCL_LIB

# PATH
XGRAPH=/home/Myname/ns-allinone-2.34/bin:/home/Myname/ns-allinone-2.34/tcl8.4.18/unix:/home/Myname/ns-allinone-2.34/tk8.4.18/unix
NS=/home/Myname/ns-allinone-2.34/ns-2.34/
NAM=/home/Myname/ns-allinone-2.34/nam-1.14/
PATH=$PATH:$XGRAPH:$NS:$NAM

after that I saved the .bshrc file and I closed it

Step 7:

[root@ashish ~]# source ~/.bashrc

Step 8 

cd Bureau/ns-allinone-2.34/tcl8.4.18/unix
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared
make
su
make install
exit
cd Bureau/ns-allinone-2.34/tk8.4.18/unix
.. same as for tcl8.4.18 ..
exit
exit
cd Bureau/ns-allinone-2.34/otcl-1.13/
./configure --enable-shared
make
su
make install

    

cd Bureau/ns-allinone-2.34/tcl8.4.18/unix
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared
make
su
make install
exit
cd Bureau/ns-allinone-2.34/tk8.4.18/unix
.. same as for tcl8.4.18 ..
exit
exit
cd Bureau/ns-allinone-2.34/otcl-1.13/
./configure --enable-shared
make
su
make install
cp libotcl.so /usr/lib/
cd ../tclcl-1.19/
make install
cd ../ns-2.34/
make install
cd ../nam-1.14
make install
exit
.. then you have a system library path ( /usr/lib/ )
.. and the path for binaries are /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin

Then path will be ok.
