nam problem in ns-allinone-2.35RC10

[Abbas]

hi everybody
I have installed ns-allinone-2.35RC10 on ubuntu10.4.
after installation and setting environment variables,
with running "ns" and "xgraph" command in directory "root@ubuntu:~/ns-
allinone-2.35-RC10/bin" i haven't problem but
when i write "nam", i face with this message:


nam: Can't find a usable tk.tcl in the following directories:
/root/ns-allinone-2.35-RC10/tcl8.5.8/library/tk8.5 /root/ns-

This probably means that tk wasn't installed properly.

Hi

You need to set the path of tcl/tk path in TCL_LIBRARY environment variable in .bash_profile and logout and login again. then try it.

if not come

then one source is change dir to ns-allinone-2.35-RC10 and type nam at console.

all the best

Thank you very much for your solution!

I solved this problem by adding the path to TCL_LIBRARY variable in .bashrc like:

export TCL_LIBRARY=/home/username/Desktop/ns-allinone-2.35/tcl8.5.10/library:/home/username/Desktop/ns-allinone-2.35/tk8.5.10/library

And run "source ~./bashrc" in terminal.

The same problem appeared in Mac OS X Mountain Lion ns-2 allinone install of me. Adding tk library path to TCL_LIBRARY variable solved my problem too.

Thank you all.

I struggled a lot to resolve. Finally I end up with your reply...Thanks a lot...

Hi ,
I installed ns2 initially sucessfully with
tracegraph in fedora 14 . But , i had to reinstall again due to errors
in my code . now , when i reinstalled ns2 but i am not able to install
nam and tracegraph .
when i try to run nam within the current directory itself i am
getting error messages like :
 probably tk wasnt install properly

i set the path also:
my path settings:
PATH=$PATH:$HOME:/home/fosslab/Desktop/ns-allinone-2.35/ns-2.35/bin:/home/fosslab/Desktop/ns-allinone-2.35/xgraph-12.2

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/home/fosslab/Desktop/ns-allinone-2.35/otcl-1.14:/home/fosslab/Desktop/ns-allinone-2.35/lib:/home/fosslab/Desktop/tracegraph202/bin/glnx86

export TCL_LIBRARY=/home/fosslab/Desktop/ns-allinone-2.35/tcl8.5.10/library:/home/fosslab/Desktop/ns-allinone-2.35/tk8.5.10/library

export PATH

@Arputha Rini , Hi.

Nam : Install an rpm package ..
32bits (i686) : nam-1.14-1.el6.i686.rpm
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7S255p3kFXNLWhoVWp3MzVFWlU/edit?usp=sharing
... or if it's a 64bits (x86_64) OS (Not recommended for ns2) : nam-1.14-2.el6.x86_64.rpm
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7S255p3kFXNWDVsMThlaDVCQU0/edit?usp=sharing
.. Install with # yum localinstall nam-1.14*
Note : nam-1.14 is statically compiled with tcl/tk. I.e. will also work on an OS with no ns2, tcl / tk.
The other version, nam-1.15,  doesn't come with build options that advanced.

Howto start `tracegraph' :
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./bin/glnx86 && ./trgraph
Post #70 here http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/programming-9/ns2-4175449125/page5.html

Setting all those *PATH's in .bashrc :  Not required. It's just a 15 year old text from a time,
when people used the University computer, and had no permissions to install 'ns' to /usr/local/bin/.
Today you can do this :
1)  $ cd ns-allinone-2.35/ns-2.35/
2)  # make install
..... and 'make install' will copy the executable 'ns' to  /usr/local/bin/ .
Note 2 : 'ns' is hard coded to know the location of it's libraries, etc.: tclsh8.5, libtcl*, libtk*.

Hi, 

i have the same error but i can't seem to find any tk installed.

I have added the neccessary paths as requested but nam isn't sill working.

@VABI EDWARD,   Hi.

1)  Please use an updated version of ns-allinone-2.35 :
ns-allinone-2.35_gcc5.tar.gz ( The 2014 - 2017 update )
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7S255p3kFXNVVlxR0ZNRGVORjQ/view?usp=sharing
I.e. can build a valid 'nam' on any genuine 'Linux OS'  (Not Cygwin?)

2) About nam : All packages → →
https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/ns-stop-couldn%27t-execute-nam-permission-denied-while-executing-exec-nam-4175524760/#2

Ubuntu, Mint, Debian : Please uninstall any 'nam' package. Only Ubuntu 17.04 has a usable nam package.deb
