Dear Qihe, Now I've succeeded to install ns-allinone-2.29 in Fedora Core 5! :-)
For a non-Linux expert like me it was not obvious to install the X development libraries. Once I did that, your patch worked fine on a non-modified ns-allinone-2.29 in Fedora Core 5. 1. install the packages in the X Software Development packages (Applications==>Add/Remove Software==>Development==>X Software Development - by default 35 of 43 packages were selected and that worked fine!) 2. get a fresh ns-allinone-2.29.2.tar.gz from www.sourceforge.net (search for nsnam) 3. > wget http://www.ececs.uc.edu/~cdmc/ucbt/src/ns2292-gcc410.patch 4. > tar -zxvf ns-allinone-2.29.2.tar.gz 5. > patch -p0 < s2292-gcc410.patch 6. > cd ns-allinone-2.29 7. > ./install If anybody has patches for other ns-2 versions (especially ns-2.26), please let me know!
