Re: Newbie question: Running ns after installation -> SOLVED

[Michael Wolf <michael.m.wolf@daimlerchrysler.com>]

Hello,

the problem is solved.
It was a old and/or broken installation of perl.
I upgraded to perl 5.005_3 an re-installed everything
and now ./validate runs through correctly...

Thanks

Michael

Thema: Antwort: Re: Newbie question: Running ns after installation


Hello,

this are the last lines from the tcl script dump


: no value given for parameter "text" to "checkout_executable"
    while executing
"checkout_executable PERL  perl "\
When configured, ns found the right version of perl in\

but it doesn't seem to be there anymore, so\
ns will fall b..."

Perl is in /usr/local/bin  (perl 5.0)
Any ideas?

Michael

PS: I didn't move anything after installing ns with the ns2.1b6
all-inone-package
as asked by another person....

Can you send the last 20+ lines of the tcl script dump? They show exactly
where the error occurred.
