Installing ns-2.35 on Mountain Lion, Mavericks and Yosemite (OS X 10.8/9/10)
Here i will provide step by step procedure for you to install ns-2.35 on mac OS X 10.8/9/10 which i successfully installed on my mac (fully tested by me and its working)
Credits:- ISI, Brain Adamson(for great patch) ,Henrique Zelak Leite Bastos for the right help and last but not the least APPLE for Mac OS X.(the best a dev. can get)
1. Enabling root user. (not a necessary step, you can skip if you want)
Enable root by following these steps http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11331
2. Download files and install them.
a. Download ns 2.35 from http://sourceforge.net/projects/nsnam/files/allinone/ns-allinone-2.35/ns-allinone-2.35.tar.gz/download
b. Download XCODE from app store and install command line tools from preferences of XCODE (not needed for XCODE 5 or later).
c. Download XQuartz from http://xquartz.macosforge.org/ (this installs X11 libraries)
install and reboot .
3. Choose install directory.
Place the downloaded ns-allione-2.35.tar.gz file in the location you want to install it.
4. Extract ns files.
Go to location where you have put your downloaded ns file and run
tar zxvf ns-allinone-2.35.tar.gz
Execute cd ns-allinone-2.35
7. Download Patch.
Download zip file from https://github.com/aemreunal/ns-allinone-2.35-Mac-OS-10.9-install-patch . Extract and put these files in ns-allinone-2.35 directory.
8. Execute command
Execute sudo ./install64 (will give paths after completion. Copy them)
9. Save Paths.
So now we save them properly. Come back to your user/home directory and run
touch ~/.bash_profile (if you dont have a bash_profile file in your home directory).
open ~/.bash_profile (opens bash_profile file in textEdit).
now enter the paths like
export PATH=$PATH:path1:path2:path3( Here paths should be separated by colon)
similarly for
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:path1:path2( Here paths should be separated by colon)
and also for
export TCL_LIBRARY=$TCL_LIBRARY:path
Save and Exit. Now run
source ~/.bash_profile
Type nam and .... Bingo!!! if you see the nam window.(or else recheck 9th step)
