[ns] Can anyone tell me how to debug ns2 2.33 using gdb? No successful examples could have been googled yet.

[Sidney Doria]

To debug I suggest you use Eclipse and gdb;

You must open the entire simulator in a project in eclipse.

details are in here:
http://nsnam.isi.edu/nsnam/index.php/Developer_Information#Development_with_Eclipse

Turn on symbols generation in the Makefile (don't forget this or you
will receive a no symbols error).

use

CCOPT = -g

To debug oTCL code, I recommend Pedro Estrela's site. You'll find all
about oTCL debugging.
