waf not running

[Rukna]

Dear NS-3 User,

Suddenly, in my pc, NS-3 stopped working. When I type "./waf build", it gives me following errors:

======================

======================

However, I did not change any file or folder. Even, I did not change any configuration.

Thanks

Hi,

two things:

1) upgrade to 3.22 or higher. Using 3.17 is a no-no

2) you have a folder named "scratch/labs (copy)" - do not use parenthesis or spaces in your files or directory names.

Cheers,

T.
