Error when installing NS3.34 on ubuntu 18.04

[Nassima Merabtine]

Hello,

I'm trying to install NS3.34 on ubuntu 18.04. I followed sevral turorials, no one works for me ! The last one is this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pF1Q6PEi8no

When executing: "./build.py" I had the following error  "Build failed
 -> task in 'ns3-fd-net-device' failed with exit status 1 (run with -v to display more information)". Any solution ?

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

Try this sequence and tell me:

1. Download the latest release from https://www.nsnam.org/releases/lates

2. $ tar xjf ns-allinone-3.XY.tar.bz2

3. $ cd ns-allinone-3.XY/ns-3.XY

4. $ ./waf configure --enable-examples --enable-tests
   

5. $ ./waf build
   

6. $ ./test.py

Thank you very much for your quick response,

I tried  the sequence you sent. the "./waf build" statement is  executed with the same error : "Build failed

 -> task in 'ns3-fd-net-device' failed with exit status 1 (run with -v to display more information)
".

I have noticed some warnings and errors when executing instruction 4 "$ ./waf configure --enable-examples --enable-tests",  as follows:

Warnings (in yellow color):

Any idea ?

I have already installed ALL these packages, except: "ipython ipython3 ". When I executed this instruction it gave me:
[TerminalIPythonApp] WARNING | File not found: u'ipython3'

Those warnings and errors are not harmful; they are just pointing out
some optional components that are not enabled.

I have an Ubuntu 18.04 test machine and I can't reproduce this build
failure. If you can build with verbose mode enabled, it may shed some
light on the problem. Also, the file build/config.log may provide more
complete information on the configuration of your system.

Try this command:

./waf build -vvv > build.out 2>&1

and share the build.out file.

Thank you for your reply.

Please find attached the config.log and the build.out files.

Thanks again.

Hi,

Install dpkg-dev:

sudo apt-get install dpdk-dev

and try to build again

Hi,

Just tested this, unfortunately, the build failed with the same error: "Build failed
 -> task in 'ns3-fd-net-device' failed with exit status 1 (run with -v to display more information)" !

It looks like you are installing ns-3.35, not ns-3.34, but I think the
problem will be the same.

The problem appears to be DPDK-related. Are you trying to use DPDK
NetDevice?

Please see this documentation:

https://www.nsnam.org/docs/release/3.35/models/html/dpdk-net-device.html#dpdk-installation

In particular, it says: "Ubuntu 20.04 has packaged DPDK v19.11 LTS
which is tested with this module and DpdkNetDevice will only be enabled
if this version is available."

Do you have a different version of DPDK installed on your Ubuntu 18.04
machine?

The Waf script does not provide a way to disable DPDK support without
editing a file or removing the fd-net-device module.

- If you want to use DPDK, you need to install the supported version

- If you are not interested in DPDK but want the other emulation
features, a workaround to this is to change line 45 of
src/fd-net-device/wscript from:

conf.env['ENABLE_DPDKNETDEV'] = have_dpdk_pkg or have_dpdk_src


to:
conf.env['ENABLE_DPDKNETDEV'] = False

and then rerun the configuration step.

- or, if you do not care about emulation, you can delete the
src/fd-net-device directory altogether

Hi,

first and foremost, the last tag release is 3.35 - I'd avoid to use an older one.

Secondly, 3.36 is about to be release, so I'd go for ns-dev (or be ready to switch to 3.36 when it's released).

Mind that the build system is going to be changed in 3.36, so old tutorials will not work. The official ns-3 tutorial is already updated to show how to use the new build system.

About the specific error, it is in one of the previous lines in the log. It should say which file wasn't compiled correctly and why. Without the log it's a shoot in the dark, and I don't like to shoot in the dark.
