TIPS: Installing OAR/RBAR protocol in NS2

Nov 28, 2006

Install Red Hat 9 (complete installation is the best; otherwise include all ‘development tools’, ‘kernel development tools’, development programs (tk, gcc etc) ). Othewrwise, during NS installation, tck./tk etc can’t/fail to install.

Put ns-allinone 2.29/30 into /usr/src and use ‘tar xzvf ……tar.gz’ to unzip and get into the unzipped folder and press ‘./install’

Note: In all recent Linux, GCC is 3+.

Put gcc 2.95.3.tar.gz into /usr/src. Untar ir (tar xzvf …tar.gz) and type

Ø ./configure

Ø make

Ø make install

Now, check after installation, >> gcc –v

If it shows gcc 2.95.3 then its OK (new ready to install ns-allinone2.1b7a

]

Put ns-allinone 2.1b7a into /usr/src

Type tar xzvf ………tar.gz to unzip it

Get into the unzipped folder and type

./install

After installation edit the ‘gedit .bashrc’

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# .bashrc

# User specific aliases and functions

alias rm='rm -i'

alias cp='cp -i'

alias mv='mv -i'

# Source global definitions

if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then

. /etc/bashrc

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/src/ns-allinone-2.1b7a/bin:/usr/src/ns-allinone-2.1b7a/tcl8.3.2/unix:/usr/src/ns-allinone-2.1b7a/tk8.3.2/unix

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/src/ns-allinone-2.1b7a/otcl-1.0a6:/usr/src/ns-allinone-2.1b7a/lib

export TCL_LIBRARY=/usr/src/ns-allinone-2.1b7a/tcl8.3.2/library

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
