Running two NS2 versions on single OS

The different versions of NS-2 can be installed on a computer by below given steps:

1. Install one version of NS-2 and create a .bash_profile1 for updating the environment variable
2. Install another version of NS-2 and create a .bash_profile2 for updating the environment variable
3. Then to switch from one version to another version use following commands
    a) source ~/.bash_profile1
    b) ./configure
    c) make install
    d) make clean
    e) make

So, to switch the library of command you need to appropriate bash_profile file as source for environment variables.

    sir i am meenakshi i want to simulate grid topology for wireless networks. My problem is that nodes are not scattering. my code is like thisset gridspace [expr $val(x) / $val(rlen)]


    for {set i 0} {$i < $val(grdix) } {incr i} {
    for {set j 0} {$j < $val(gridy) } {incr j} {
    set a [expr $j + [expr $i * $val(rlen)]]
    $node_($a) set X_ [expr 0.0 + [ expr $i * $gridspace]]
    $node_($a) set Y_ [expr 0.0 + [ expr $j * $gridspace]]
    $node_($i) set Z_ 0.0
    }
    }

      Hi,

      Yes, you need to use internet, because NS-2 requires few supporting libraries. So for downloading the library only internet is required.

    Hi, I m simulating leach protocol on Ns-2.29 mannasim, I have used script generator tool for leach tcl script, with periodic sensing and data dissemination after every 10 sec, I have noticed that most of the time data sent to the cluster heads is not received, I m confused why I m getting these results when nodes are using tdma slot to send their data to the cluster head. Please help!!! Do I néed to check recvData() function which sometimes work but not most of the time it doesn't? Because data from node to cluster head is sent in tdma slot so their is no collision visible in the log.
