Hi,

I am trying to install ns-3.22 (latest release) and facing issues.
I followed the tutorial and tried two approaches:
1. Downloading tarball and using build.py to install.
2. Using bake.
3. Using waf.

In all attempts I ended up with the following error:

I googled and read somewhere that this issue might be because glibconfig.h has two definitions (32 bit and 64 bit).

My machine's config:
OS : RHEL
Version: 6.4 (Santiago)
GCC version : 4.8.2 (glib-2.0)
Architecture : x86_64

Any help would be great!

P.S: I tried to install an older version (ns-3.16) but got the same error.

Thanks,
Vasanth.

Hi,

I tried again after changing the GCC version to 4.4.7 but still no luck!

Thanks,
Vasanth.

I haven't seen this before (we don't have a RHEL 6.4 buildslave around)
but you could probably work around this with hardly any loss of
functionality by disabling GTK in your build.

Try passing the '--disable-gtk' flag to './waf configure' as in

'./waf configure --disable-gtk --enable-examples --enable-tests' and
then './waf build'

That did the trick. Thanks!

Hi,

I have a very similar problem
Unfortunately, your way does not help
if you could have any ideas?
I would be very grateful for your help.

That's my problem:

We need to know the gcc version you're using, the OS and the ns-3 version...

Hi,

can you try upgrading to 3.24.1 ?

Ok, it looks like it it works :)
Thanks for help!

I've tested another configuration OS and NS-3 version and:

Xubuntu 14.04 <--> ns-3 3.22
Xubuntu 15.10 <--> ns-3 3.24

Regards,
Przemek

Yes, it's a GCC issue. It is becoming more and more picky about things (and this is good, because they're mostly things that can lead to bugs).

Cheers,

T.
