Welcome to LQ.

Did you check ' .bashrc ' to see, if the new path's have been set ?

About ./validate : 1) cd ns-allinone-2.33/ns-2.33 2) ./validate

Getting the libraries into the system LIBRARY_PATH in an easy way :

sudo apt-get install tcl8.4 tk8.4

and : cd ns-allinone-2.33/otcl-1.13 sudo make install

cd ../tclcl-1.19 sudo make install exit

...

ns + nam in the system PATH : cd ns-allinone-2.33/ns-2.33 sudo make install

cd ../nam-1.13 sudo make install

... which will copy the two files ns, nam only, to /usr/local/bin/

Good luck ! ...

Well, build-essential is a rather short list of packages,

which you probably already have ... + the dependencies ..

which are :

thank you sir but

when i use this command :

sudo apt-get install dpkg-dev g++ libc6-dev make

i get following msges

:-"Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree

Package dpkg-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package.

This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or

is only available from another source

and when i use this

Rep:

'dpkg-dev' is not important, just mentioned as part of what you get with 'build-essential'.

But 'libx11-dev' is a must.

( And so are libxmu-dev libxmu-headers libxt-dev libtool ).

May be have a look in

(Menu) System > Administration > Software Sources ... and tick the entries in 'Ubuntu Software',

'Updates',

(6)

... next : sudo apt-get update

... and then you should be able to fetch all packages with

sudo apt-get install ...

If you still have problems then :

Please show your file /etc/apt/sources.list ( Can be attached as sources.list.txt using the paper clip tool in 'Post Reply'.)

when i try to do so .. then it refused to save.

"Could not save the file /etc/apt/sources.list. You do not have the permissions necessary to save the file. Please check that you typed the location correctly and try again."

now what should i do ??

one thing more ..

is i need to install package named "libx11-dev" ??

when tried following commands then ..

"sudo apt-get install dpkg-dev g++ libc6-dev make"

error comes ..

"Package dpkg-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package.

is only available from another source"

and

"sudo apt-get install libx11-dev dev libxmu-headers libxt-dev libtool"

error comes...

Package libx11-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package.

E: Package libx11-dev has no installation candidate

"sudo apt-get install libxmu-dev"

error comes...

now i think packages "libx11-dev" , "libxmu-dev" and "dpkg-dev" are not available.. now give me the link or download location from which i could able to download these packages. or tell me any other way to get them. because from software sources or update manager i was unable to get them.

Repeat :

If your cd isn't recognized, or is a live version, or you do not want to use it, just uncomment 'media' in "Software Sources"

...

And repeat : dpkg-dev is not required for ns2. ...

Generally for editing system files : sudo gedit <path-to-file>/"file" or

cd <path-to-file> sudo gedit <file>

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list ... will do the trick.
