installing ns2 in ubuntu 11.10...

hi all this is i found when installing ns2 and its really helpful so i am sharing with you guys..

1. Install ubuntu

2. Download the Ns-2.35 from this website http://isi.edu/nsnam/ns/

3. Assuming that your ns-2.35 source is in the /home/loginname/ , execute the commands one by one

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install automake autoconf libxmu-dev build-essential

tar zxvf ns-allinone-2.35.tar.gz

cd ns-allinone-2.35

./install

4. Once the process is over, it will give the set of paths to be set.

5. Go to terminal and open .bashrc by giving this command

gedit .bashrc

and copy the following lines ( my login name for linux is pradeep, you can change yours accordingly)

export PATH=$PATH:/home/ns-allinone-2.35/bin:/home/pradeep/ns-allinone-2.35/tcl8.5.10/unix:/home/ns-allinone-2.35/tk8.5.10/unix
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/ns-allinone-2.35/otcl-1.14:/home/pradeep/ns-allinone-2.35/lib

6. run the command “source .bashrc” (without quotes)

and then type ns (a % symbol indicates the successful installation of ns2) or nam (you can see a network animation windows popped out)
