.....  I guess you know how to copy-paste a text.

» invalid command name "Mac/UnderwaterMac" « : Seems you are using a wrong copy of the executable 'ns'.

Or you have a failed build :  Ubuntu 16.04 - amd64 cannot build Aqua-Sim.

.........  But you can install the app `aquasim-ns2_2.30-1ubuntu14_amd64.deb´ into Ubuntu 16.04 - amd64

...... Provides  /usr/local/bin/ns230-Aqua-el6

Download ..... and install

sudo apt install Downloads/aquasim-ns2_2.30-1ubuntu14_amd64.deb

Building "Aqua-Sim" :  A specific 32bit OS is required :

The ancient Ubuntu 10.10 - i386 or the modern CentOS  6.10 - i386 (EL6)

Hello knudfl. first of all i thank you for answering my question. but I'm still unclear about NS2 and Aquasim to implement them; Can you help me install it via teamviewer? (I will pay the costs)

Thank you very much

All you need for a run-time "ns2 AquaSim" is aquasim-ns2_2.30-1ubuntu14_amd64.deb

I.e. that's what all run-time ns2 is about : The executable ns-name + the tcl libraries →

example → ns-allinone-2.35/{ lib/{libtcl*, tclConfig.sh, tcl8*/}, bin/tcsh8* }

Also required is aquasim-examples-01.20/ ..... in e.g. /home/name/ns2/Aqua-Sim/

----------------------------------------------------

For the best result AquaSim was built with CentOS 6.10, and the package aquasim-ns2_2.30-1ubuntu14_amd64.deb was created in Ubuntu 14.04 - amd64 from the "CentOS 6.10 AquaSim files".

-------------------------------------

......... And if you really want to build the files yourself ...........

Build example, CentOS 6.10 - x86_64 ......

# yum install gcc-c++ compat-gcc-34-c++ autoconf automake libtool libXmu-devel

$ mkdir AquaSim

$ cd AquaSim/

$ tar xvf [path-to)/Aqua-Sim-1.0.tgz

$ export CC=gcc34 CXX=g++34 && ./install

$ cd ns-2.30/

$ cp ns ns-aqua

# cp ns-aqua /usr/local/bin/

----------- Simulation, in aquasim-examples-01.20/  ---------

$ ns-aqua vbf_example_400.tcl

hello sir.

I downloaded aquasim-ns2_2.30-1ubuntu14_amd64.deb and used the command:

$sudo apt install Downloads/aquasim-ns2_2.30-1ubuntu14_amd64.deb
and error appears:
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'aquasim-ns2_2.30-1ubuntu14_amd64.deb'
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'aquasim-ns2_2.30-1ubuntu14_amd64.deb'

Please check that 'aquasim-ns2_2.30-1ubuntu14_amd64.deb' actually got downloaded to /home/[name]/Downloads/.

..... Maybe you have another download folder?   

Or you will have to confirm the download : Google considers some packages dangerous, probably because the complexity of a package.deb .

$ cd [directory-with-package]

$ sudo apt install ./aquasim-ns2_2.30-1ubuntu14_amd64.deb
