[ns] Inquiry About ns-2.29 Installation

[Ka-Cheong Leung]

Dear all,

I have recently attempted to install ns-2.29 in a Sun Solaris
workstation.  It has gone fine but some validation tests failed
I noted that some events were reordered.  The validation test
showed the following errors:


  validate overall report: some tests failed:
      ./test-all-smac-multihop ./test-all-webcache ./test-all-wireless-tdma ./test-all-xcp
  to re-run a specific test, cd tcl/test; ./test-all-TEST-NAME
  Notice that some tests in webcache will fail on freebsd when -O is turned on.
  This is due to some event reordering, which will disappear when -g is turned on.


Then, I attempted to recompile the ns executable by

 	make clean
 	./configure --enable-debug
 	make

The compilation failed with the following error messages:


  cc1plus: warnings being treated as errors
  mobile/propagation.cc: In method `double FreeSpace::Pr(PacketStamp *, PacketStamp *, WirelessPhy *)':
  mobile/propagation.cc:158: warning: use of `l' length character with `f' type character
  mobile/propagation.cc:158: warning: use of `l' length character with `f' type character
  make: *** [mobile/propagation.o] Error 1


Is there any way to resolve the problem, or should I consider the initial
installation successful by ignoring those failed validation tests because
of event reordering?

Thanks in advance.  Your help is appreciated.

BR,
