Re: [ns] ask for help again

[Di-Fa Chang <difac@usc.edu>]

In random.cc, try to comment out the following code:

/****
RANDOM_RETURN_TYPE
random() GCC_THROW
{
        printf("random() called in ns.\nRandom is not portable, please use
Rando
m::uniform() instead.\n");
        abort();
}
****/

Recompile ns and see if it works.
