I have currently successfully installed ns2.1b9 on my CentOS 5 machine. After installation, I implemented the patch listed here<http://www.cs.unh.edu/cnrg/people/sowmyam/ns-atm/> .
Following the readme instructions( also found on that page) I was able to apply the patch and ./configure. I however encountered an error trying to run make. The error is listed below: g++-3.3.6 -c -DTCP_DELAY_BIND_ALL -DNO_TK -DNIXVECTOR -DTCLCL_CLASSINSTVAR -DNDEBUG -DLINUX_TCP_HEADER -DUSE_SHM -DHAVE_LIBTCLCL -DHAVE_TCLCL_H -DHAVE_LIBOTCL1_0A8 -DHAVE_OTCL_H -DHAVE_LIBTK8_3 -DHAVE_TK_H -DHAVE_LIBTCL8_3 -DHAVE_TCL_H -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DPGM -DPGM_DEBUG -DNS_DIFFUSION -I. -I/home/ktofa/ns_atm/ns2.1b9/ns-allinone-2.1b9/tclcl-1.0b12 -I/home/ktofa/ns_atm/ns2.1b9/ns-allinone-2.1b9/otcl-1.0a8 -I/home/ktofa/ns_atm/ns2.1b9/ns-allinone-2.1b9/include -I/home/ktofa/ns_atm/ns2.1b9/ns-allinone-2.1b9/include -I/usr/include/pcap -I./tcp -I./common -I./link -I./queue -I./adc -I./apps -I./mac -I./mobile -I./trace -I./routing -I./tools -I./classifier -I./mcast -I./diffusion3/main -I./diffusion3/lib -I./diffusion3/nr -I./diffusion3/ns -I./asim/ -o trace/trace.o trace/trace.cc In file included from trace/trace.cc:55: atm/atm.h:66: error: syntax error before `*' token make: *** [trace/trace.o] Error 1 ---- In the file its complainig, there is a śtring'declaration before the * character. I fear this is the problem. I should note now that in order to install ns2.1b9 I had to basically install a much older version of gcc, precisely gcc 3.3.6. I have searched the mailing lists but have found nothing. I have attached the file so that anyone can go through it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
