- Error While Installing ns-allinone-2.1b6
I’m working on a project that use the OWNS module, the extension module for NS-2 in simulating the WDM networks. This module has been tested and works in NS 2.1b6 (as it is stated in it’s README file). When I’m going to install the s-allinone-2.1b6 package, it shows me an error message below
./mkLinks /home/tugas-akhir/ns-allinone-2.1b6/tkbox/man/mann
loading cache ./config.cache
No .configure file found in current directory
Continuing with default options…

Please check http://www-mash.cs.berkeley.edu/ns/ns-problems.html
for common problems and bug fixes.
Can anyone please show me what the problem is?

General, if you will try to install a old version of ns2 on a new version of linux/unix, then you will face lot of this kind of errors. This is mainly due the the default(higher) version of gcc (compiler) present in that linux/unix environment.
To avoid this kind of errors, simply try to use old version of gcc for compiling old version of ns2. (learn to remove the default version of gcc and learn to install a old version of gcc )
