[Mustafa Kamal]

Hello,

following command
# ./build.py
# cd ns-3.6
# ./waf configure (but I got the below output from this command)
# ./waf

Now how i can able to enable this optional features. I've already
checked in Fedora 12 that I've glib, gtk, sudo, python as well as nsc

I am using Fedora 12 in VMware.

You install what is missing and re-run ./waf configure and the feature
will be enabled.

Additionally, in the case of NSC, pybindgen, and reference traces, you may find it convenient to pass --with-xxx=../xxx options to waf configure.

Subscribe to bug http://www.nsnam.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=763 and provide the needed info.

My best guess is that you have gtk but not gtk-devel package.  NS-3 needs -devel packages for everything, of course.

I was unable to reproduce this. I think Gustavo is right-- you are
probably missing devel packages. This wiki page should show you what
to install:

I've followed the weblink and first install the necessary library files in Fedora 12. Some files are already installed while the rest has given a fresh download and install.

I've download the both ns-3-dev and ns-allinone of version 3.6 in the repos and tarball dir respectively.
At this time, while running ./waf -d optimized configure both bundle show different results. Like although the ns-dev bundle can detect the pybindgen but the allineone bundle couldn't. Similarly while the ns-dev bundle can detect and enable the optional NSC feature while the allinone bundle couldn't.

I've attached the logs. Hope you will check that.

I am using Fedora 12 on VMware over Windows 7 (64bit).
VMware Server: 2.0.0
Fedora 12 with 1GB RAM and 16 GB HDD (Virtually)

And thanks to Gustavo and Tom Henderson for these essential information.
