Public bug reported: After installing ns2{,doc,examples} and trying to run the validation there are a couple of problems:
The validation script is gziped ( /usr/share/doc/ns2/examples/validate.gz ) All testsuites in /usr/share/doc/ns2/examples/tcl/test/ are gziped. The test driver /usr/share/doc/ns2/examples/tcl/test/test-all- template1.gz is gziped. After gunziping the necessary files and running the validation suite further problems ensue: ns: _o4 cleanup file7 timersA2_(timestamps,_fine-grained_clock): Can't open perl script "../../bin/set_flow_id": No such file or directory Can't open perl script "../../bin/getrc": No such file or directory Can't open perl script "../../bin/raw2xg": No such file or directory while executing "exec $PERL ../../bin/set_flow_id -s all.tr | $PERL ../../bin/getrc -s 2 -d 3 | $PERL ../../bin/raw2xg -s 0.01 -m 90 -t $file > temp.rands" Imho you should ship a script that unpacks the test suite into a user specified directory and ship the nescessary perl files to run the test suite.
