Try this

Dear Qasim,

you are right. The problem seems to be related to the gcc version.
Fortunately there is a patch. The instructions can be found at
http://mailman.isi.edu/pipermail/ns-users/2006-May/055811.html in case
you want to fix your friend's NS2 installation some time.

Thank you very much.

Cheers,
Markus

 No Unfortunately I could not find the solution to that problem.
 As this was one of my friend's computer who just started research. I think
 it will be some time before we try to load ns2 again as he is working on
 somethng else.


 However one reason could be that we were trying to install NS2.29 on the
 Latest version of linux with gnu compiler version 4.10, and it did not
 compile. Maybe if you try a the compiler version less than 4.0, then it
 will probably work
 before you try to install ns2
 please check what version compiler you are using
  e.g type  gcc -v
 If its 4.0 or higher, than that could be a problem.

 I hope this might help

 Hi Qasim,

 you posted a problem on the NS2 mailing list on April 28 regarding
 tcl8.3.2 configuration on Cygwin.

 I ran into the same problem. Did you find a solution?

 Maybe it is worth posting it on the NS2 mailing list, since the problem
 has been reported recently to occur with Debian Linux, too. Yet, in the
 mailing lists I could not find a solution.

 Thank you very much.

 Kind regards,
Markus
