HOW TO: Install Network Simulator 2 & Network animator (NSnam) on Ubuntu Hardy
August 29th, 2008 28 Comments So Ive been given a Final Year Project that deals with vehicular communication on a VANET (Vehicle Ad-hoc Network). It involves hardware implementation of an embedded system modules to a cars CAN-BUS so as to communicate with the cars ECUs and between cars themselves. If everything goes well, this would probably be implemented in luxury cars such as Audis & BMWs (were testing using the AUDI cars) - or maybe not. Anyway, to cut the long story short, opensource is the way to go and thus, I needed free softwares to simulate changing network topology and routing algorithms. After a few considerations, NS2/Nam is my prefered choice. Installing it in Fedora 9 seems to be a breeze but Ubuntu has its setbacks. However, it is not difficult to overcome. First, you have to download the NS2 allinone installation file from here and untar the compressed file (Im using release ns2-2.33). Common to Ubuntu distribution, the OS is lack of developer tools like compilers and stuffs. Thus, make sure you already have installed your build essentials. If you havent, sudo apt-get install build-essential Next, youll need some dependencies which will allow the installation process to be successful. Else, youll probably get a make: *** [tk3d.o] Error 1 tk8.4.14 make failed! error. sudo apt-get install autoconf automake libxmu-dev After installation is successful, its time to install the NS2/Nam program cd ns-allinone-2.33 ./install The installation process will take several minutes (depending on your machines processing power) with lots of installation verbose on your terminal. When the installation has ended, it will tell the user that installation is successful. Next, youll need to change some Environment values in order to make your program work correctly. sudo gedit ~/.bashrc Add these lines to your bashrc file. Replace your directory with the installation directory of your ns2 program. #environment values for NS2/NAM # LD_LIBRARY_PATH OTCL_LIB=/your directory/ns-allinone-2.33/otcl-1.13 NS2_LIB=/your directory/ns-allinone-2.33/lib

Go to the library and, cd ns-2.33 ./validate This will take a much longer time than the first installation command (./install). After installation, a validation confirmation validate overall report: all tests passed will be shown. To use ns2 simulator, just type, $> ns Hope this help for those who are planning to use the NS-2.

There was some problem with the nam binary. But I figured out a lot after reading your instructions. I have read through a lot of instructions but i felt urs were the best and simplest for people who havent dealt with NS2 earlier.Thanx a million and God bless. Thanx again.Cherio.

Just that Im kinda busy with school work (mainly working on some VANET routing protocol), thus I may take sometime to reply back. Sorry bout that. @Craft: My NAM works fine. Did your validation process went without error messages? Worsecase would be to change to another distro. Ive tried it on Ubuntu and Fedora with 100% success. @Rajeswaran: The installation process should be similar. 11 Ufuk // Dec 30, 2008 at 4:56 pm NAM=/your directory/FYP/ns-allinone-2.33/nam-1.13/ FYP ??? what does it mean? is it ur dirs name? thnx in advance 12 firdooze // Jan 15, 2009 at 1:20 pm oh sorry, ignore the FYP.

I am using NAM version 1.13, for ns2.32 on Linux (Fedora 8 and kernel 2.6). I have installed it as allinone version. If you have experience with this kind of problems please help. Thank you in advance! 18 firdooze // Feb 28, 2009 at 1:11 am @Beginner: Maybe you could try running the nam file on command line rather than automatically after the ns2 simulation. If it was generated successfully by NS2, I dont see why there would be an error. @tomy: Do check your installation output file and try run the specific test name as instructed by the installer. @Blorrent: Just wondering whether are your running a x64 machine? Because I had some similar problem with X11 files on an 64bit server running in a cluster. I had to chance the ./configure files to include the 64 environment library in the x11 line.
