[ns] MASH Inspector (nstk?) problems
Hi everyone, I just did all the steps nicely explained in the Pedro Estrela's homepage to work with the debugger. All installation steps work well (show no error messages). However, when testing the MASH Inspector as indicated, the MASH window starts trembling at the right border and couple of seconds later nstk hangs. I am using a MacBook Pro/OS X and ns-2.30. I guess is the wish version that the nstk takes by default, which is not using plain X11 windows. So, I don't know how to generate an nstk with the X11 wish version. This is, at least, to see if the tk version is the one with the problem. Any help would be appreciated. -- Andrés Arcia
Re: [ns] MASH Inspector (nstk?) problems
Hi Regarding the nstk, what I've done is to clone the wish.c file from a very recent TCL distribution (I guess the one that came with NS2.29 all in one), and merged it with the NS2 code (tclappinit.cc). a) Can you run the TKcon console? http://tagus.inesc-id.pt/~pestrela/ns2/step3.PNG b) find any simple TK command that works in your wish version, and try it in nstk. Does it work? (I've made nstk in a linux PC, running debian distribution and NS_all_in_one 2.29) Other users that have successfully installed nstk, please comment on this topic!

Re: [ns] MASH Inspector (nstk?) problems
Hello, So far I have done both tests that you requested and both have executed neatly. Answer for question a): yes it works. http://webdelprofesor.ula.ve/ingenieria/amoret/question_a.png Answer for question b): yes it works for both. http://webdelprofesor.ula.ve/ingenieria/amoret/question_b.png However, I get this weird behavior for the MASH inspector. The inspector shows up when called but once I try to roll down the scrollbar, the whole thing hangs. Also, from the very beginning the inspector is not showing what it should (at least what you show at: http://tagus.inesc-id.pt/~pestrela/ns2/step4.PNG). By the way, I tried one script for testing scrollbars in nstk and worked well. The result is at: http://webdelprofesor.ula.ve/ingenieria/amoret/smashed_mash.png Thanks for your help.

Re: [ns] MASH Inspector (nstk?) problems
This is very strange :) Actually, the screenshot of step 4 is what happens after clicking in one of the classes; This is the first thing that happens, and is exactly like yours http://tagus.inesc-id.pt/~pestrela/ns2/step4_very_start.PNG I can only think of you to upgrade your TK version (I'm using 8.4.11, and the guide was made in linux using 8.4.5). You are currently using 8.4.7. test b) showed that nstk is processing the TK commands well. So, this should be a problem of some command contained in Mash inspector itself. The problem is that MashInspector doesnt run in wish because it lacks otcl. (you could try to compile Mash itself, but it will not be easy). Its probably faster to get a linux machine, patch it according to my guide, and try the inspector; after that, you can evaluate the inspector's capabilities for yourself, and decide if it is worth the effort to try to find the bug.

Re: [ns] MASH Inspector (nstk?) problems
Ok, thanks. Just one more thing: My screenshot and yours are not the same, look at the clicked TCP object showing nothing but the object name in the instance box. The link I pointed out was: http://tagus.inesc-id.pt/~pestrela/ns2/step4.PNGhttp://tagus.inesc-id.pt/%7Epestrela/ns2/step4.PNG And you're talking about: http://tagus.inesc-id.pt/~pestrela/ns2/step4_very_start.PNGhttp://tagus.inesc-id.pt/%7Epestrela/ns2/step4_very_start.PNG Anyway, I'll manage somehow. Thanks for your time and patience.
