Hi,
let me understand it straight.
We wrote a tutorial. t is meant as a self-tutoring very first approach to ns-3. There's a full length document and 7 examples to be run along with, demonstrating the stuff explained in the document.
You want a guide in reading the tutorial ?
Something's wrong here.
There's another point that is not right tho. Better, two points.
First, I did what you said (copied first.cc in scratch) and everything works.
Second, we never ever define a log component with a space in it ("Passive buffer").
As a consequence, you did modify BOTH files, and in an inappropriate way.
Start from scratch, revert your changes and understand the tutorial before doing stuff.
Have fun,
T.
