HI,All

I'm new to NS3, and I followed the ns-3-tutorial to install the NS3(ns-allinone-3.24 ). Everything works well except the PyViz part. Then I followed the steps in (https://www.nsnam.org/wiki/index.php/PyViz) to install additional packages(i.e pygtk, pygoocanvas, and pygraphviz packages) to enable PyViz. The following command was suggested(for OS X)

port install py27-pygtk py27-pygoocanvas py27-pygraphviz

however, the py27-pygoocanvas was inaccessible,so I used py-goocanvas instead.

when I finished installing these packages and build the NS-3 tree again, it still says that Missing python modules: gtk, goocanvas, pygraphviz)

what should I do?

p.s

1.I searched some similar problem in the group but none of them ran into the same problem as i did.

2.I tried fink to install those packages successfully, and sadly, it still doesn't work

3.I tried to install the NS3 on ubuntu today and the PyViz works, it really confuses me... did i miss some packages?(i followed the first 3 steps in https://www.nsnam.org/wiki/index.php/HOWTO_get_ns-3_running_on_Mac_OS_X_(10.6.2_Intel) to install the prerequisites)

4.Here are the configuration info:

Hi,

I never tested it (I'm not a Python fan and I use NetAnim to visualize my network), but I can do a best guess.

Waf found the standard Python here (/usr/bin/python is the Apple path), and you installed the python libraries using MacPorts.

Most probably you'll need to configure Python to point to the MacPort-based Python, or it will not see what you installed.

I hope it works, but I can't guarantee anything.

You are right, when I use "port select python" command and select the right version of Python, it works. Thank you sooooooo much
