ns2.34 on fedora 15

[meetpsm]

installing ns2.34 in fedora 15 needs old gcc compiler. is there any ideas to install ns2.34 on fedora 15 with clean steps?

You can install multiple versions of the GCC compiler suite on a system, I have both gcc 3.4 and 4.4 on my primary system. On another system I have 2.95, 3.4, 4.4, and 4.5.

What older version do you need? Won't it work with compat-gcc-34/compat-gcc-34-c++ packages?

Edit this file-- ./ns-allinone-2.34/ns-2.34/mobile/nakagami.cc
In line number 183 instead of--
resultPower = ErlangRandomVariable::ErlangRandomVariable(Pr/m, int_m).value();
write--
resultPower = ErlangRandomVariable(Pr/m, int_m).value();
In line number 185 instead of--
resultPower = GammaRandomVariable::GammaRandomVariable(m, Pr/m).value();
write--
resultPower = GammaRandomVariable(m, Pr/m).value();



And also edit the file-- ./ns-allinone-2.34/ns-2.34/tools/ranvar.cc
In line number 219 instead of--
return GammaRandomVariable::GammaRandomVariable(1.0 + alpha_, beta_).value() * pow (u, 1.0 / alpha_);
write--
return GammaRandomVariable(1.0 + alpha_, beta_).value() * pow (u, 1.0 / alpha_);



Then in the file mac/mac-802_11Ext.h you need to include another file since the "offsetof" is a problem here. So jst add
#include<cstddef>

Another missing problem exists in the file mobile/nakagami.cc

At the end of line #185 there isn't any semicolon. So jst add that.
