Solved : Problem and Step-by-Step Installing NS-2.34 On Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

A few days ago, I installed my new PC in my lab with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I used to work with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, but now I want to try Ubuntu 12.04. For my research purpose, I need to install Network Simulation NS-2 on it. As usual everything is not that easy while you’re going to work with Open Source or freeware…hehehe. That’s the challenges in Open Source. I like it.

I found some problem when installed NS-2.34 on Ubuntu 12.04. So, I suggest you before you upgrade or install new OS, check for its compatibility issues, such as gcc, and g++ compiler. In Ubuntu 12.04, the compiler version is 4.6. Otherwise NS-2 have some compatibility problem with gcc-4.6 version. That’s why you need to install older gcc version, in this post I used gcc-4.4 version. To install gcc-4.4 and g++-4.4 do following command :

STEP 1: ~$ sudo apt-get install gcc-4.4 g++-4.4

First of all before installing NS-2, you need to update and install your Ubuntu library.

STEP 2: ~$ sudo apt-get install libxt-dev libx11-dev libxmu-dev xorg-dev xgraph

After download ns-allinone-2.34 package, then extract ns-allinone-2.34.tar.gz into your home directory. After that you will get into your ns-allinone-2.34 in your home directory..

STEP 3: ~$ cd /home/abdusy/ns-allinone-2.34

And for installation, we use type this simple command, right?

STEP 10: ~$ ./install

But wait a minute…….patient please. If you did that STEP 10 then you would find error message like this:

g++ -c -g -O2 -Wall …tools/ranvar.o tools/ranvar.cc
tools/ranvar.cc: In member function ‘virtual double GammaRandomVariable::value()’:
tools/ranvar.cc:219:70: error: cannot call constructor ‘GammaRandomVariable::GammaRandomVariable’ directly
tools/ranvar.cc:219:70: error: for a function-style cast, remove the redundant ‘::GammaRandomVariable’
*make[1]: *** [tools/ranvar.o] Error 1*

Don’t be panic. That’s why I told you before….It’s only a challenge to make you more interested in Open Source. So, I highly recommend you to have some modification before you do STEP 10. There are files you need to modified as follows:

otcl-1.13/configure
tools/ranvar.cc
mobile/nakagami.cc
tcl8.4.18/unix/Makefile.in
ns-2.34/Makefile
ns-2.34/Makefile.in

Due to the linking error problem :

otcl.o: In function `OTclDispatch’:
/home/abdusy/ns-allinone-2.34/otcl-1.13/otcl.c:495: undefined reference to `__stack_chk_fail_local’
otcl.o: In function `Otcl_Init’:
/home/abdusy/ns-allinone-2.34/otcl-1.13/otcl.c:2284:
undefined reference to `__stack_chk_fail_local’
ld: libotcl.so: hidden symbol `__stack_chk_fail_local’ isn’t defined
ld: final link failed: Nonrepresentable section on output
*make: *** [libotcl.so] Error 1*
otcl-1.13 make failed! Exiting …
See http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/ns-problems.html for problems

To solved this problem, fix the error in the linking of otcl by editing line 6304 of otcl-1.13/configure. We need to edit one line 6304 in otcl-1.13/configure as follows:

STEP 4: ~$ gedit /home/abdusy/ns-allinone-2.34/otcl-1.13/configure

Linux)*
SHLIB_CFLAGS=”-fpic”
#SHLIB_LD=”ld -shared” //disabled this line
SHLIB_LD=”gcc -shared” // add this line
SHLIB_SUFFIX=”.so”
DL_LIBS=”-ldl”
SHLD_FLAGS=””
;;

The next file you need to modified is ns-2.34/tools/ranvar.cc and change the line 219.

STEP 5 : ~$ gedit /home/abdusy/ns-allinone-2.34/ns-2.34/tools/ranvar.cc

SOLVED:
double GammaRandomVariable::value()
{
// Proposed by Marsaglia in 2000:
// G. Marsaglia, W. W. Tsang: A simple method for gereating Gamma variables
// ACM Transactions on mathematical software, Vol. 26, No. 3, Sept. 2000
if (alpha_ < 1) {
double u = rng_->uniform(1.0);
//return GammaRandomVariable::GammaRandomVariable(1.0 + alpha_, beta_).value() pow (u, 1.0 / alpha_); /* Disabled/
return GammaRandomVariable(1.0 + alpha_, beta_).value() pow (u, 1.0 / alpha_); /add this line/*
}

Next step is change the lines 183 and 185 in file ns-2.34/mobile/nakagami.cc.

STEP 6 : ~$ gedit /home/abdusy/ns-allinone-2.34/ns-2.34/mobile/nakagami.cc

SOLVED:
if (int_m == m) {
//resultPower = ErlangRandomVariable::ErlangRandomVariable(Pr/m, int_m).value();
resultPower = ErlangRandomVariable(Pr/m, int_m).value();
} else {
//resultPower = GammaRandomVariable::GammaRandomVariable(m, Pr/m).value();
resultPower = GammaRandomVariable(m, Pr/m).value();
}

The next step is to edit line 270 in tcl8.4.18/unix/Makefile.in.

STEP 7 : ~$ gedit /home/abdusy/ns-allinone-2.34/tcl8.4.18/Makefile.in

SOLVED:
#CC = @CC@
CC = @CC@-4.4

To used gcc-4.4 and g++-4.4 as compiler to compile ns-allinone-2.34, change the line 36-37 in ns-2.34/Makefile.in.

STEP 8 : ~$ gedit /home/abdusy/ns-allinone-2.34/ns-2.34/Makefile.in

SOLVED:
#CC = @CC@
#CPP = @CXX@
CC = @CC@-4.4
CPP = @CXX@-4.4

Also change the line 36-37 in ns-2.34/Makefile

STEP 9 : ~$ gedit /home/abdusy/ns-allinone-2.34/ns-2.34/Makefile

SOLVED:
#CC = gcc
#CPP = g++
CC = gcc-4.4
CPP = g++-4.4

That’s it…..After that you can back re-run STEP 10. Have a nive day…Bonne Journée 😀 .

See http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/ns-problems.html for problems
and i also want to inform that
as you suggested
” Also change the line 36-37 in ns-2.34/Makefile

STEP 9 : ~$ gedit /home/abdusy/ns-allinone-2.34/ns-2.34/Makefile
SOLVED:
#CC = gcc

I did not findMakefile there. So, i did not change that. Can you please suggest me what to do.

Add a line after line 64 in ns-2.34/mac/mac-802_11Ext.h to read:

then it will work properly for ns2.34allinone

Hello Sir,

I had successfully installed ns-2.34 in ubuntu 12.04 but when I run the command ./configure I got this error:

.

checking for otcl.h… -I../otcl-1.13
checking for libotcl1.13… -L../otcl-1.13 -lotcl
checking for tclcl.h… -I../tclcl-1.19
checking for libtclcl… no
checking for tcl2c++… no
configure: error: Installation of tclcl seems incomplete or can’t be found automatically.
Please correct the problem by telling configure where tclcl is
using the argument –with-tclcl=/path/to/package
(perhaps after installing it),
or the package is not required, disable it with –with-tclcl=no.

Please help us how to get out of this problem.
