NS2 Installation problem

1. When install tcl get error:  /configure: 1: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string

 

1) Unpack ns



 tar zxpfv ns-allinone-2.xx.tar.gz



 2) Apply the correct patch



 patch -p0 < "appropriate patch file"



 You should find the adequate patch in this link



 http://www.ececs.uc.edu/~cdmc/ucbt/src/<http://www.ececs.uc.edu/%7Ecdmc/ucbt/src/


>


3) Enter the ns2 directory (the directory created when you unpacked the

 allinone package)



 cd ns-allinone-2.xx (I do no remember if this is the correct directory

 name)



4) Search all the files with the problematic line.



 grep -R "system=MP-RAS" * | sort | uniq



 5) Edit each file in your prefered editor



 6) In each file, change all the occurences of these lines



 system=MP-RAS-`awk ' { print $3 } '/etc/.relid'`



 system=MP-RAS-`awk ' { print } '/etc/.relid'`



by this,



 system=MP-RAS-`awk ' { print $3 } '/etc/.relid`



 7) That's it. Now try ./install and everythins will surely work fine :-)
