[ns] Successfully compiled ns under Red Hat 8.0 (GCC 3.2)

[Piyush Khengar]

Dear All,

I have just managed to successfully build ns-allinone-2.1b9a. Here are
the steps if anybody is interested:

First of all make all the modifications to the source code as per
http://mailman.isi.edu/pipermail/ns-users/2002-September/025559.html

Note: I was unable to make the changes specified for the file tcp-full.h
as I could not find line 131 as specified in the modifications.

In addition, you will need to modify line 96 of file
ns-2.1b9a/queue/pi.h, so the line looks like

'friend class PICalcTimer;'

Next download the following file:
http://www.isi.edu/cgi-bin/nsnam/cvsweb/ns-2/mobile/shadowing-vis.cc?rev=1.3

and copy it to your ns-2.1b9a/mobile folder.

>From there on the build process should work fine.

Regards
Piyush Khengar
