RE: HPUX10.20/ns2 problem

["Fion Lee" <leefion@nortelnetworks.com>]

I checked... the file version.c exists but there is nothing inside it.
So I put the line   
char version_string[ ] = "2.1b4"; 
in version.c.

Ns then compiled successfully.

BUT when I ran ./validate in ns-2/ , I got, for all cases

./test-all-template1[98]: 27568 Memory fault (coredump)

The following are the different warnings I got while compiling ns:

rng.cc: In method `int RNG::command(int, const char *const *)':
rng.cc:199: warning: decimal integer constant is so large that it is
unsigned
mem-trace.h: In method `void MemInfo::checkpoint()':

I thought something could be wrong since I applied the config.h patch in the
middle of installation.  (BTW, the patch did not work with the "patch"
command on my machine, so I manually edited config.h).  So I downloaded
ns-allinone-2.1b4a again and started from scratch (with patch applied
first).  I got the same warnings and memory coredump except there was no
complaint  for version.c anymore.  

Just wondering, could it be a compiler problem?  If ns-allinone-2.1b4a is
proven that it can be successfully installed on HP-UX10.20 using gnu 2.8.1
(is it proven, Haobo?), I will find a way to install gnu 2.8.1.

Thanks again for your help. I really appreciate it.
