ns and dmalloc: building problem

[Douglas De Couto <decouto@lcs.mit.edu>]

hi,

i just though you might be interested in the problems i have had
configuring ns version 2.1b1 to work with dmalloc 4.3.0.

1) the configure script doesn't find the specified dmalloc

i.e. here is my dir layout

<somewhere>/
	|->ns/
	|->dmalloc-4.3.0/

"configure --with-dmalloc=../dmalloc-4.3.0" fails to find the dmalloc;
instead i had to link dmalloc-4.3.0 to dmalloc, and omit the directory
argument to --with-dmalloc

2) the dmalloc_support.cc file in lib is incorrect for the latest
   version (4.3.0) of dmalloc -- it doesn't even compile.  Instead you
   must use the allocation operator definitions from the dmalloc
   distribution's dmalloc.cc

otherwise it seems to run and log data.

Is there a way to get onto this mailing list?

And another question... what sort of memory consumption do people experience
with ns?  Using the cmu mobile extensions I see ns using on the order
of a couple of megabytes per node.

cheers,

Douglas

p.s. ns@mash.cs.berkeley.edu doesn't work.  It is the email listed in
the README....
