ns2.33 on openSUSE 11.0

last update @ 2008-07-25 14:20

This is actually a very straight forward procedure:

  1. Download the allinone package from SourceForge.net
  2. Unpack the archive and follow the README within to install: execute ./install
  3. Follow the README and set some environmental variables in ~/.bashrc
  4. Follow the installation routine printouts and validate your installation by executing ./validate
After these steps ns can be called from the command line (./ns) and should respond with a prompt, indicated by a % sign. Leave the prompt by typing quit.

ns3.1 on openSUSE 11.0

last update @ 2008-08-04 13:58

I started tryiong my stuff on ns3 and wetn through an initial build process:

  1. Download the allinone from http://www.nsnam.org/
  2. Go through the steps presented in the "Getting Started" section

Unfortunately I had to fix some stuff since the initial build did not go through clean on my setup (openSUSE 11, gcc 4.3.1). But I the new waf build system made that fairly easy.

  • put #include <typeinfo> in ../src/core/callback.h
