The Network Simulator ns-2: Installation Problems, Bug Fixes, and Help

This page has moved and can now be found here. The below page will be maintained for reference to older versions.

INSTALLATION PROBLEMS

This section will hold installation problems we've heard about and possible fixes for them between releases. In general, these are fixes for ns/otcl/tclcl installation problems.

For Tcl/Tk-8.0 installation problems refer to Tcl/Tk installation info page.

IMPORTANT: If you experience problem when building a ns daily snapshot, you probably want to update your otcl and tclcl to the most current snapshot as well. Sometimes changes in ns will REQUIRE an updated tclcl. If you are using nam with ns snapshot, it is recommended that you update nam together with ns because ns may provide new visualization features which requires an updated nam.

Categories of problems on this page:

If a problem is not listed here, you may also want to search the ns-users mailing list archives (how to subscribe to the list, the archives themselves).

If something worked in an old verison of ns and no longer works, you can look at our CVS archives (read-only) to see what we changed. (Thanks to the MASH project for setting up and maintaining this service.)
