http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/ Ns is a discrete event simulator targeted at networking research. Ns provides substantial support for simulation of TCP, routing, and multicast protocols over wired and wireless (local and satellite) networks. Ns began as a variant of the REAL network simulator in 1989 and has evolved substantially over the past few years. In 1995 ns development was supported by DARPA through the VINT project at LBL, Xerox PARC, UCB, and USC/ISI. Currently ns development is support through DARPA with SAMAN and through NSF with CONSER, both in collaboration with other researchers including ACIRI. Ns has always included substantal contributions from other researchers, including wireless code from the UCB Daedelus and CMU Monarch projects and Sun Microsystems. For documentation on recent changes, see the version 2 change log. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual Results: Can't find it Expected Results: I could find it :-) From the webpage: Getting the Pieces Important:Please check the bug fixes after you finish installation!. Ns depends on several externally available components. Below is a summary of where to get them and where they may already be (if you're a VINT developer). Since the components depend on each other, you should build them in the listed order. Ns is developed primarily on Unix (SunOS, FreeBSD, and Linux) and should build on most other versions of Unix. Ns should also build under Windows-95/98/2000/NT. Tcl/Tk Download source: A modestly up to date Tcl/Tk version Tcl-8.4.5 Tk-8.4.5 web page: Scriptics Tcl/Tk resources. Note that while more up to date versions of tcl/tk are available, we have not tested with them (although we expect them to work). otcl Download source: version 1.8 (released Jan 9, 2004) daily snapshot anonymous CVS (package "otcl") web page: http://otcl-tclcl.sourceforge.net/otcl/.

Prebuilt binaries for the current release of ns-2.27 to run under cygwin for windows9x/2000/XP and instructions to build the cygwin environment are available from the cygwin page . There may be known problems with the current version of ns; please check the ns installation problems web page for patches. nam-1 (optional) Download source: most recent release (nam-1.10 released Jan 18, 2004 ) daily snapshot, anonymous cvs (package "nam-1"). web page: http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/nam/ Prebuilt binaries for nam-1.10 to run under cygwin for windows9x/2000/XP and instructions to build the cygwin environment are available from the cygwin page . You can find pre-built binary for Linux here . xgraph (optional, but needed for test suites) Download source: version 12.1, or by anonymous cvs (package "xgraph"). web page: http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/xgraph/. (This version is maintained by the ns maintainers and includes portability fixes over the older 12.0 release.) perl (optional, but needed for test suites) Download source: latest stable release; web page: http://language.perl.com/ Note that version 5.003 or later is required. tcl-debug (optional, available for Tcl debugging help) Download source: version 1.7; web page: http://expect.nist.gov/tcl-debug/ This version will work with Tcl/Tk 8.0 release. dmalloc (optional, available for memory debugging) Download source: version 4.8.0. web page: http://www.dmalloc.com; specify --with-dmalloc during configure to include. sgb2ns conversion program (optional, needed to convert GT-ITM output to ns-2 format) Download source: sgb2ns conversion program. For more info on GT-ITM topology generators see GT-ITM Topology Generator. tiers2ns conversion program (optional, needed to convert Tiers output to ns-2 format) Download source:tiers2ns.awk.

NS2 looks like a very interesting software, unfortunatly we are short on man-power in the newly created 'netmon' herd. Could you perhaps create the relivant .ebuild files and submit them for inclusion? It seems that you have much more expiriance of this software then we in the netmon herd currently have. Please look at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-howto.xml for instructions how to create ebuild files.
I saw that net-analyzer/ns net-analyzer/nam dev-tcltk/otcl dev-tcltk/tclcl packages already exists in the portage tree, which makes this bug is invalid.

tclcl/otcl are fixed. I put NS2 into the tree myself, many moons ago. Fredrik: In future please do NOT reopen bugs because something is broken. Instead open a new bug.
Robin: ACK
