Installing NS2 under Ubuntu 9.10

  1. Download NS2 from the following Website, I tried version ns-allinone-2.34.tar.gz.
  2. Put the file under /home/pradeep/ (my user login is pradeep, you may try with your username)
  3. go the folder in the shell prompt by issuing the following command cd /home/pradeep/
  4. Since installation of NS2 simulator needs some autoconfigurationfiles which will need to be installed. To download those packages, justexecute the following commands $ sudo apt-get install build-essentialautoconf automake libxmu-dev
  5. it will take some time to download and install.
  6. Now execute the following steps so that NS2 will be installed $ tarzxvf ns-allinone-2.34.tar.gz $ cd ns-allinone-2.34 $ ./install
  7. You may get an error like libotcl.o error, to correct that execute, sudo apt-get install g++-4.3, once done, open the file otcl-1.13/Makefile.in, in line number 7 change 
  8. CC= @CC@ to CC= gcc-4.3, then again goto step 6
  9. After the above steps, NS2 will give the path information which needs to be set in the PATH variable
  10. Open the file .bashrc which is available under the folder/home/pradeep/ (if you try to install in root user /root/.bashrc). Usethe following command to open the .bashrc file $ gedit/home/pradeep/.bashrc
  11. edit the above file and set the following paths over there exportPATH=$PATH:/home/pradeep/ns-allinone-2.34/bin:/home/pradeep/ns-allinone-2.34/tcl8.4.18/unix:/home/pradeep/ns-allinone-2.34/tk8.4.18/unixexport LD_LIBRARY_PATH= /home/pradeep/ns-allinone-2.34/otcl-1.13,/home/pradeep/ns-allinone-2.34/lib
  12. Thats it!!! save the file, logout and login with the username.
  13. open the shell prompt and type $ ns (you will get a % indicatingthat the installation is working correctly) $ nam ( a window will beopened showing the network animator)

    download .deb packages from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?asi5fi5drcmjyfc

    there are about 12 deb packages; unzip them and install one by one just by double clicking. you'll have ns installed onto your system within minutes...

    Package autoconf is not available, but is referred to by another package.
    This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
    is only available from another source
    E: Package autoconf has no installation candidate
