Concerning ns-2, Ubuntu and other stuff.

Installing ns-2.34 on Ubuntu 11.04

with 49 comments

First, do the same things as you would do for the ns-2.34 and Ubuntu 10.10 installation, i.e.:

Install the development files for X Windows plus the g++ compiler:
sudo apt-get install xorg-dev g++ xgraph

Fix the error in the linking of otcl by editing line 6304 of otcl-1.13/configure so that it reads
SHLIB_LD="gcc -shared"
instead of
SHLIB_LD="ld -shared"

Then, edit the file ns-2.34/tools/ranvar.cc and change the line 219 from
return GammaRandomVariable::GammaRandomVariable(1.0 + alpha_, beta_).value() * pow (u, 1.0 / alpha_);
to
return GammaRandomVariable(1.0 + alpha_, beta_).value() * pow (u, 1.0 / alpha_);

Next, change the lines 183 and 185 in file ns-2.34/mobile/nakagami.cc to read
resultPower = ErlangRandomVariable(Pr/m, int_m).value();
and
resultPower = GammaRandomVariable(m, Pr/m).value();

Now the code will compile if you run ./install. However, you may not be able to run the ns executable. If you get an error stating that there has been a buffer overflow *** buffer overflow detected ***: ./ns terminated including a backtrace, you need to do the following to make it work:

Install gcc-4.4 and g++-4.4 including dependencies using the code below:
$ sudo apt-get install gcc-4.4 g++-4.4

Change the line 270 in tcl8.4.18/unix/Makefile.in that reads
CC = @CC@
so it appends the version parameter for version 4.4:
CC = @CC@ -V 4.4
Make sure it is a capital V.

Finally, run ./install from the ns-allinone-2.34 top folder again.

  1. Excellent post Erlend!

    I have gone through the first two steps (using other older forum posts), but then I got the buffer overflow error and found this post. Totally works!

    • One more thing, I was getting the error in the installation scenario of this thread, which read:

      In file included from mac/mac-802_11Ext.cc:66:0:

      mac/mac-802_11Ext.h: In member function ‘u_int32_t PHY_MIBExt::getHdrLen11()’:

      mac/mac-802_11Ext.h:175:19: error: expected primary-expression before ‘struct’

      mac/mac-802_11Ext.h:175:41: error: ‘dh_body’ was not declared in this scope

      mac/mac-802_11Ext.h:175:51: error: ‘offsetof’ was not declared in this scope

      mac/mac-802_11Ext.h:177:3: warning: control reaches end of non-void function [-Wreturn-type]

      make: *** [mac/mac-802_11Ext.o] Error 1

      Ns make failed!

      So, I just fixed it by adding the line

      #include

      to the header of the file: ns-allinone-2.34\ns-2.34\mac\mac-802_11Ext.h

      and then ns2.34 installed well…

      • I guess you meant to add that line to the file: mac/mac-802_11Ext.h
        what should I write after the word “#include” ?
        I don’t see any name of a file to include..

        Hulda

        Tuesday, December 27, 2011 at 11:57

      • if you meant to include mac-802_11.h, then the duplicated classes like rts_frame, cts_frame et cetra should be commented in file: mac-802_11Ext.h and then it will work.
        Thanks!

  5. Has anyone had issues with NAM in 11.04? I get a Buffer Overflow Detected error and the backtrace lists:
    /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6
    According to this post:
    http://www.streamreader.org/askubuntu/questions/40416/why-is-lib-libc-so-6-missing
    libc.so was moved in 11.04 and I’m wondering if this is causing the problem, but I don’t know enough about Ubuntu to fix this problem.
    Any advice would be great.

    • and to add further confusion, when I run ./validate on NAM, it runs and instances of NAM open and run, but as soon as I try to run NAM on its own, it gives me the buffer overflow error.

      Paul M

      Monday, June 13, 2011 at 16:26

      • Did you follow the instructions closely? Especially the ones starting with ‘Install gcc-4.4 and g++-4.4 including…’
        It might help.

        Sergio

        Tuesday, June 14, 2011 at 5:42

  6. yep, ive got gcc/g++ v. 4.4.5.2 with generic library support and multilib files. nam doesnt have any problems running during the validation tests, its only when I run it from a simulation .tcl script. makes no sense to me.

    Paul M

    Tuesday, June 14, 2011 at 19:52

    • if your problem is just with nam, try using the one provided by ubuntu:
      sudo apt-get install nam

  12. Hi Erlend,

    I used your tips for installing ns2.34 on ubuntu 11.04, but stuck at the buffer overflow error. I sent you an email enclosing the logs. I’ll really appreciate it if you could help me for some more tips. The case is curious. Thank you very much.

  13. Hi Erland

    I am following all the steps as mentioned in the blog for installing ns2.34 and yet i am getting BUFFER OVERFLOW ERROR. Default version of gcc in ububtu 11.04 is 4.5.2 and that required for ns2 is gcc4.4. The command “sudo apt-get install gcc-4.4″ doesn’t install it and neither it can be installed from Synaptic Package Manager.

    Please guide me in the process to installing the same.
    Thanks in advance

    Mirul

    Monday, August 1, 2011 at 15:34

    • I’m sorry, but I don’t know why you aren’t able to install gcc-4.4 through Synaptic. I will repeat the advice I gave to Chang who commented a few hours before you, for the record. Hope you can use it…:

      “From your installlog.log it seems the g++ compiler is not installed. You could do this using the command sudo apt-get install xorg-dev g++ xgraph And then it is important to install the version 4.4 of the compilers. Also remember to run the ns binary by using the full path, so that you don’t mistakenly run an earlier installed version from the /usr/bin or similar directory.”

      Cheers, Erlend

  18. I have a problem. I have installed ns2 through Ubuntu Software Center because I couldn’t install with Terminal. It was impossible for me
    Now I have to install a patch for RSVP and I don’t know how. In all the tutorials I have saw, they go to the folder of ns2 and continue with the installation.

    The problem is that I don’t have a ns2 folder, all the files are spread in several folders.
    I don’t know what I have to do to install a patch in this case.

    Can somebody help me please?

  19. Hi Erlend,

    I assume the above solution is for Ubuntu 11.04 32bits.

    Because …

    When I ran ns (ns2.34) after a successful installation over my Ubuntu 11.04 I get ”Segmentation fault”.

    I have heard from experts that ns2.xx does not run on Ubuntu 11.04 64bit but do on 32bit.

    Any updates or fixes …

  27. hi,
    I try to install ns2.34 on 11.04, and I follow all the above steps but I have buffer overflow yet!
    do you have any idea about that?

    Wednesday, October 26, 2011 at 12:32

    • It could be that you are running Ubuntu 64 bit? Rumor has it that ns-2 will not work with Ubuntu 11.04 64 bit in any case. I cannot confirm or disprove this, as I lack the hardware.

  28. Hi… I am trying to install Otcl-1.14 on ubuntu and I am getting below error after I run ./configure command…

    checking for libtcl8.5… -L/usr/local/lib -ltcl8.5
    checking for init.tcl… /usr/share/tcl8.5
    checking for http.tcl… /usr/share/tcl8.5/http1.0
    checking Tcl http.tcl library… yes
    checking for tclsh8.5.10… no
    checking for tclsh8.5… /usr/local/bin/tclsh8.5
    configure: error: Installation of tcl seems incomplete or can’t be found automatically.
    Please correct the problem by telling configure where tcl is
    using the argument –with-tcl=/path/to/package
    (perhaps after installing it),
    or the package is not required, disable it with –with-tcl=no.

    I already have installed NS-2.34 on ubuntu and it is working fine, do I still need to install Otcl?

    Thanks in advance!
