Hi Gaiz n Galz, For those who want to use ns-2.29 with older gcc/g++ and needs fixing for only the OSF problem ie, the installation exits with the below mentioned messages, can use this shorter patch attached as "ns-2.29-OSF.patch". This problem happens due to the new syntax of bash scripting.
OSF error message: checking system version (for dynamic loading)... ./configure: line 7624: syntax error near unexpected token ')' ./configure: line 7624: ' OSF*)' tcl8.3.2 configuration failed! Exiting ... Tcl is not part of the ns project. Please see www.Scriptics.com to see if they have a fix for your problem." To use the patch you need to execute the following commands (assuming the patch file "ns-2.29-OSF.patch" is copied to your home folder already) in order. ------------------------------------------ cd wget http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/dist/ns-allinone-2.29.tar.gz tar -zxvf ns-allinone-2.29.tar.gz patch -p0 < ns-2.29-OSF.patch cd ns-allinone-2.29 ./install -------------- You can validate and run simulations in the same way as explained earlier. I have tested the patch in the same systems as mentioned in the earlier mail. Disclaimer notice: I have used informations available at "http://ravemz.blogspot.com/2006/04/problem-in-installing-ns-2292-allinone.html"; for this patch. Regards, Atiur --- "Md.
