Hey, I could install ns2 properly according to your steps! They even matched with snapshots associated with every command of yours. But when I restarted my system and tried giving 'ns' command, it says

"The program 'ns' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:sudo apt-get install ns2"

I'll be very thankful if I get a response to my problem. :)

Thank you!

if ns not work ,you must restart computer the enter sudo su then ns

ns2 is not installing due to the impropre network services

works beautifully thanks,

is someone has already gcc installed then he may skip that step.

and while mentioning "CC=gcc-4.4" (if you have installed this) , you can write it like this "CC=gcc" only

it will work pretty fine thanks
