Hi,

as far as I know there's no pic module in ns-3, so it must be a module from somewhere else (other than the standard distribution).

So, if you don't give us more details about the errors or the module, I think we can give little help.

Cheers,

How did you add the PLC module? Have you followed the documentation for creating the corresponding wscript file?

 http://www.nsnam.org/docs/manual/html/support.html

What types of errors? Post some of them here.

its PLC not Pic module...and am sharing the link ryt now,...https://github.com/ns3-plc-module/plc

[Konstantinos]

Have you installed the requirements (not only for NS-3 but also the boost-libs) as stated in the page you gave?

Besides the plc module uses the template-based boost graph library, which has to be accessible via the system's include path. For installation see www.boost.org.

Then, if you try to use a later version of ns-3, apart from that specified (ns-3.16), you might need to update the wscript file of that module.

Still, you haven't given us what errors you are getting so as to help you.

i have downloaded PLC module from this link ahttps://github.com/ns3-plc-module/plc..and added to the src folder as mentioned in the link.but am getting an error ..i have attached the screen shot with this post. from the post https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en&fromgroups#!searchin/ns-3-users/new_task_gen/ns-3-users/JzUvWiWn9UY/dLn3AMMIdt0J    i modified the wscript accordingly but still its showing errors.can anyone help me with this

Which wscript file are you using? I have already mentioned you in private you have to create NEW wscript file because the original downloaded from the PLC site is for NS-3.16 and WAF has been upgraded in NS-3.19. 

Study and Understand the documentation

http://www.nsnam.org/docs/manual/html/new-modules.html#adding-a-new-module-to-ns3

Yes, you need to put the source code.

Yes, you need to add the dependencies that module has in the new wscript file.

Some commands/structures for wscript files have been changed since ns-3.16, hence you need the new wscript. You only need to put in that new wscript the names of the .cc/.h files to be build, and dependencies of the module (either on other libraries or modules.

I am sending you the integrated version of ns3.19 and plc module . I have made some changes in the Wscript and for me its working properly .
I insist you to follow certain steps.
1) Install all per-requisite files from http://www.nsnam.org/wiki/Installation
2) Install sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev
3) Extract the Ns-3.19 file from https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9C0NCRAmoXZLUFzcF9JSGhCZlU/edit?usp=sharing
4) Try configure and build the file. It won't give any error.

Oh,I have the same error too, not in ns3-phy or plc-interface,but in ns3-graph.I think it may be the problem in boost C++ library graph.I am a  college student,andonly have studied plc in NS3 for two days...This error is so disgusting!Have you ever figured it out?It made me sad!

Please, triple check the words you use, unless you're absolutely sure of their meaning.

I understand you're not mother tongue, otherwise my answer would had been something like "The only disgusting thing here is that you're not even trying to fix the errors you find. In my college a student that would use such a language would have been kicked out".

However, as I said, I understand that you're not a native English speaker, so you may have a wrong evaluation of the words meaning.

About the error, let me state one thing.

The plc module is not a module officially supported by the ns-3 distribution. 

This does not means that it's a bad module, just that it is not supported by us. We can try offering some help, but very limited.

Most important, tho is: any error / problem / failure in the plc module should NOT be extended to the ns-3 core system and its maintainers.

Thanks,

T.

Deeply sorry for my incorrect use of the word.I don't meant to be rude.As you said,I am not the native English speaker,and I didn't know the accurate usage of the word.The only thing in sentence above I wanted to express is that this error or bug disturbed me or made me "sad",not about the plc module ,the ns-3 and their maintainers.Maybe I should contact the plc module's maintainers searching for help??? Thanks for your reply.I will try my best to deal with it.Best regards!

Hi,

I totally understand the issue of being foreign language (I'm not an English native speaker too).

I'd definitely suggest to contact the module's authors. More ideas on your other post.

Cheers,

T.
