[ns] Please help!! A new RSVP protocol installation, error message!!

[Juha Villanen <jvillane@tct.hut.fi>]

Hi all,

I have tried to convert a RSVP-implementation(which was designed to work
with release ns-2.1b6) to work with ns-2.1b8a. I succeeded to get it
compile and it seemt to work somehow. However, when testing the function
of the module I changed the value of a variable called "best_effort"
(which is by default set to zero) to 1. Then I made "make" and got the
following error-message!!..Does anybody know, what's that all about??
The variable "best_effort" is located on ns-2.1b8a/tcl/lib/ns-rsvp.tcl
and as I said, in the beginning of ns-rsvp.tcl it's set to zero by
default(and the change which I made is later on the same file!). When I
then corrected it back to the old value, the same error-message just
keeps coming!!...How is that possible?

When trying to locate the source of the error, I found a file
ns-2.1b8a/gen/ns_tcl.cc....And in the end of that file there is like the
copy of ns-rsvp.tcl...every word!(and of course a lot of other stuff
too!!)!! So what's that file all about? I mean is it ok that there is
the hole content of ns-rsvp.tcl, methods, variable default values and
all? So if I change something from ns-rsvp.tcl, do I have to change it
correspondly from ns-2.1b8a/gen/ns_tcl.cc too?....that didn't work:)

So the same error message keeps coming whatever I do and I in a deep
trouble!! If there is something I have forgotten to change in doing the
ns-2.1b6->ns-2.1b8a-transformation, I would cladly hear any thougths and
advices!!

Please help...and thanks in advance,
