Hi: I'm installing ns-2.30 on Ubuntu 10.04.1. I got the very same errors and will try to avoid them by casting types. Any other suggestion? I think the main problem is that ns-2.30 only works properly using g++ and gcc 4.0 and no newer versions of those. Maybe I would change to any other distro of Debian or Fedora. I had to use the Ubuntu 6 dapper repository to get installed g++ and gcc 4.0, but the graphical interface and the sound of my system crashed. Anyway, I can't use the dapper repository any more as it seems it is not supported. Any suggestion or links? Thanks a lot!!! J.Carlos
