[ns] Create-wireless-node

[Jaume Ribot <Jaume.Ribot@ccrle.nec.de>]

Hello Everbody,

  I am a student working in my diploma thesis related with the
simulation of MobileIP protocol using ns. I've found an extension to
this protocol (with the new radio propagation model, the non ad-hoc
routing protocol and the improvements to ad-hockey tool) made by J�rg
Widmer.

  First, I've installed the last version of ns (2.1b7) and the extension
was not compiling because I think in the last version the access method
to the packet headers is quite different to the old one. So, I've
decided to install ns 2.1b6. After some problems, I've could install the
extension, but the examples are not working, because I think a problem
in ns.

  When I execute the script mmh.tcl (in each of the scenarios) it
appears me the next error:

jaumerc@linux:/opt/jaume/aciri/simula/border/scen1a > ns mmh.tcl

    (_o31 cmd line 1)
    invoked from within
"_o31 cmd nodeid 2"
    invoked from within
"catch "$self cmd $args" ret"
    (procedure "_o31" line 2)
    (SplitObject unknown line 2)
    invoked from within
"$node nodeid [$node id] "
    (procedure "_o3" line 24)
    (Simulator create-wireless-node line 24)
    invoked from within
"$self create-wireless-node $args"
    (procedure "_o3" line 16)
    (Simulator node line 16)
    invoked from within
"$ns_ node 0.0.0"
    (file "mmh.tcl" line 40)

  I suppose is an error of ns, because with other examples of
wireless-cum-wired networks, it appears me the same error. I've looked
to the ns-mailing list if there is a solution for this problem, but all
that it says is to upgrade to next version of ns 2.1b7, in which the
extension I think doesn't work. The only strange thing I made during the
installation of the extension is that for make the ./configure, I've
used the instruction ./configure --without-Tk, because if not it appears
me an error (something saying NONE is not a directory)

  I hope you can help me with this problem, because I've been three days
trying to solve it, and I have could not.

  Thank you very much in advice to all of you for your time and
attention.
