Please help! Problems in MAC-TEST.TCL

["Laura-Lei Liu" <liul@nortelnetworks.com>]

Hello,

I installed the ns-2.1b4 successfully (Running ./install with message said
"ns-2 has been successfully installed").
Running ./validate gives two failed tests in test-suite-ecn.tcl due to
"floating-point formatting are not significant".

Then I tried a test as:

ns-2/tcl/ex/mac-test.tcl -node 6 -stop 100

(notes: I sourced two files ns-2/tcl/lan/ns-lan.tcl & ns-mac.tcl for
testing)

The traces in out-bw shown as:

Number found where operator expected at (eval 3) line 1, near "6 2"
	(Missing operator before  2?)
Bareword found where operator expected at (eval 3) line 1, near "2Mb"
	(Missing operator before Mb?)
Number found where operator expected at (eval 3) line 1, near "Mb 1"
	(Do you need to predeclare Mb?)
Bareword found where operator expected at (eval 3) line 1, near "1ms"
	(Missing operator before ms?)
Bareword found where operator expected at (eval 3) line 1, near "/Csma/Ca"
	(Missing operator before Ca?)
Number found where operator expected at (eval 3) line 1, near "Ca 0"

It looks like no packets had been received. Please help me what I did wrong.
Thanks a lot!
