Hey,

I have decided to use ns3 as my first ever network simulator because I
have lots of experience with Python.

I am trying to build and install ns3 under Linux Mint (Ubuntu), and I
have already installed Bazaar and GCCXML and pygccxml and other
prerequisites.

I have cloned the latest version of ns3 and before every try I simply
update my copy by issuing hg pul -u...

I run ./waf configure, but it does not try to get pybindgen via Bazaar
and at the end of the output I get something like this:

Python Bindings : not enabled (PyBindGen missing)

So, I tried to get the pybindgen manually via bzr, and run this
command:

./waf configure --with-pybindgen=some dir...

But I keep being given the same thing above, PyBindGen missing...

Then I tried to manually copy the pybindgen repository version into my
Python's site-packages folder, issuing the command ./waf configure
again, I get the sam output...

Finally, no use in googling and your IRC channel is also captured by
bots :D lol.

I have tried to build and install ns3 ignoring this error (maybe not
error, just information) but there in python dist-packages directory,
I get an ns folder including a single __init__.py file...

and when I wanna run an example of the ns3, it raises and exception
about being unable to find module ns.applications...

I just don't know what I have done wrong,

I appreciate any help!

Thanks in advance

Did you get ns-3-allinone to begin this whole process?

Did you run download.py?

Please read the posting guidelines.

We can not answer a question if we don't have the basic elements to answer it.
