[jason....@mail.dcu.ie]

Hi,

I’m a bit of a novice with linux but need NS3 for university. I was given a set of packages to have install:

sudo apt-get install gcc g++ python
sudo apt-get install gcc g++ python python-dev
sudo apt-get install mercurial
sudo apt-get install bzr
sudo apt-get install gdb valgrind
sudo apt-get install gsl-bin libgsl0-dev libgsl0ldbl
sudo apt-get install flex bison libfl-dev
sudo apt-get install tcpdump
sudo apt-get install sqlite sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev
sudo apt-get install libxml2 libxml2-dev
sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0 libgtk2.0-dev
sudo apt-get install vtun lxc
sudo apt-get install uncrustify
sudo apt-get install doxygen graphviz imagemagick
sudo apt-get install texlive texlive-extra-utils texlive-latex-extra
sudo apt-get install python-sphinx dia
sudo apt-get install python-pygraphviz python-kiwi python-pygoocanvas libgoocanvas-dev
sudo apt-get install libboost-signals-dev libboost-filesystem-dev

sudo apt-get install openmpi*

 

But when I run: sudo apt-get install openmpi* I get the following:

Any ideas on how to fix this? I am running Ubuntu 12.04 within VMware.

Thanks,

Hi there,

you can try these command:

Firstly be sure you have install the G++:

sudo apt-get install gcc g++ 

Secondly, could you try to use this command to update you ubuntu package:

sudo apt-get update

And then try this:

sudo apt-get install openmpi-bin openmpi-doc libopenmpi-dev

Cheers,

Longhao

Please do not post in old and unrelated threads. 

Can you please open a new thread specifying what is the particular problem you have installing NS-3? Do you also want to install OpenMPI?
Have you followed the documentation, installed all required libraries?

Regards,

K.
