Hi Brenda, could you tell me which Linux distribution do you use? I had the same porble related to the tcl libraries. I solved it installing on my Ubuntu Linux the tcl8.4 and tk8.4 packet using the Synaptic manager.
check if your linux has correctly installed tcl and tk libraries. regards Matteo ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brenda Lindsay Williams" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <ns-users@ISI.EDU> Sent: Saturday, January 20, 2007 12:30 PM Subject: [ns] Problem installing NS > > I want to use ns 2.1b7 cos the version I got has an ATM patch already > which > I need for my thesis.I try to configure it and I get the error message > below. > ______________________________ ______________________________ > _______________________________________________ > [EMAIL PROTECTED] Desktop]# cd ns-2-snapshot-20010224/ > [EMAIL PROTECTED] ns-2-snapshot-20010224]# ./configure > loading cache ./config.cache > No .configure file found in current directory > Continuing with default options... > checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu > checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu > checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu > checking for gcc... gcc > checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) works... yes > checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) is a cross-compiler... no > checking whether we are using GNU C... yes > checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes > checking for c++... c++ > checking whether the C++ compiler (c++ ) works... yes > checking whether the C++ compiler (c++ ) is a cross-compiler... no > checking whether we are using GNU C++... yes > checking whether c++ accepts -g... yes > checking how to run the C preprocessor... gcc -E > checking for ANSI C header files... yes > checking for string.h... yes > checking for main in -lXbsd... no > checking for socket in -lsocket... no > checking for gethostbyname in -lnsl... yes > checking for dcgettext in -lintl... no > checking for getnodebyname in -ldnet_stub... no > checking that c++ can handle -O2... no > checking standard STL is available... no > checking for tcl.h... -I../tcl8.3.2/generic > checking for libtcl8.3... -L/usr/local/lib -ltcl8.3 > checking for init.tcl... ../tcl8.3.2/library > checking for tclsh8.3.2... no > checking for tclsh8.3... /usr/local/bin/tclsh8.3 > checking for tk.h... no > checking for libtk8.3... no > checking for tk.tcl... no > checking for otcl.h... -I../otcl-1.0a6 > checking for libotcl1.0a6... no > configure: error: Installation of otcl seems incomplete or can't be found > automatically. > Please correct the problem by telling configure where otcl is > using the argument --with-otcl=/path/to/package > (perhaps after installing it), > or the package is not required, disable it with --with-otcl=no. > ___________________________________________________________________________ > > Even when I use the arguments specified in the last 4 lines I still get > the > same problem.Someone pls help.I'm getting behind schedule.Thanks a lot. > > Best regards, > > Brenda
