NS2.34 installation



1. Download ns-allinone-2.34             
2.Extract it to any folder, I generally do it on home
3. Install the libraries
(before install ns-2 you will need the packages that are shown below )
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libxmu-dev

$ sudo apt-get install libx11-dev libxmu-dev libxmu-headers libxt-dev libtool
$ sudo apt-get install dpkg-dev g++ libc6-dev make
$ sudo apt-get install tcl8.4 tk8.4
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential

$sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libxmu-dev gcc-4.3 

 3. Open terminal (cntrl+alt+t) and type cd ns-allinone-2.34
4. type ./install Now you will get some errors probably.
5. Go to ns-allinone-2.34/otcl-1.13/configure, line number 6304 remove thde line
SHLIB_LD="ld -shared"
and make it
SHLIB_LD="gcc -shared"
6. Now go to
ns-allinone-2.34/ns-2.34/ tools/ranvar.cc: In member function ‘virtual double GammaRandomVariable::value()’:
In ns-2.34/tools/ranvar.cc, line 219 replace the line
return GammaRandomVariable::GammaRandomVariable(1.0 + alpha_, beta_).value() * pow (u, 1.0 / alpha_);
to
return GammaRandomVariable(1.0 + alpha_, beta_).value() * pow (u, 1.0 / alpha_);
7. In ns-allinone-2.34/ns-2.34/mac/mac-802_Ext.h, line 65 add
#include<cstddef>
8.
In ns-allinone-2.34/ns-2.33/mobile/nakagami.cc
Find the lines 
if (int_m == m) {
             resultPower = ErlangRandomVariable::ErlangRandomVariable(Pr/m, int_m).value();
         } else {
             resultPower = GammaRandomVariable::GammaRandomVariable(m, Pr/m).value();
         }
         return resultPower;
    } And replace with
  if (int_m == m) {
            resultPower = ErlangRandomVariable(Pr/m, int_m).value();
         } else {
             resultPower = GammaRandomVariable(m, Pr/m).value();
         }
        return resultPower;
    }
In Makefile.in 
find the line

CC=    @CC@

and change it to

CC=    gcc-4.3

Now  go to ns-allinone-2.34 
and type
$./configure
$make clean
$make
Path Setup:
Open your terminal again and type
  gedit ~/.bashrc
Then in the end of the page update the env variables append the following lines. Change the path to your path ***************************************************************************

Now , close your terminal
Open a new terminal again and type ns
U ll see a % coming up which means ns is installed.
