  • Years 2014 - 2019 : The Debian / Ubuntu `nam` was corrupt. Valid packages are https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/ns-stop-couldn%27t-execute-nam-permission-denied-while-executing-exec-nam-4175524760/#2 ......... Any questions? Then please tell how NAM was installed. – Knud Larsen Feb 12 '22 at 09:29
  • Ubuntu 20.04 : `sudo apt install nam` usually provides a valid `nam` . – Knud Larsen Feb 12 '22 at 11:26

Requirements of ns-2

  • gcc-4.8
  • g++-4.8 These were only available up to Ubuntu 18.04.

To properly install ns-2, it's essential to ensure these requirements are met. You can configure ns-2 for Ubuntu 20.04 using the instructions provided in this article and video.

Another crucial point: if you are unable to fulfill these requirements, ns-2 might not work correctly on Ubuntu. In such cases, the best approach is to opt for a lower version of Ubuntu that supports these requirements.

If you're using an ARM-based version of Ubuntu, you won't be able to satisfy these requirements either. In this situation, it's recommended to use a downgraded version of Ubuntu (Not ARM-based version) that meets these requirements.
