error then change it to 4.9 from 6 which works well from below
command
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential software-properties-common -y
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test -y
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gcc-snapshot -y
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gcc-6 g++-6 -y
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-6 60 --slave
/usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-6
sudo apt-get install gcc-4.8 g++-4.8 -y
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-4.8 60 --slave
/usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-4.8

When completed, you must change to the gcc you want to work with by default. Type
in your terminal:
sudo update-alternatives --config gcc

To verify if it worked. Just type in your terminal


gcc -v
Extract ns2
5) Type following commands on terminal
cd /opt/
tar -zxvf ns-allinone-2.35.tar.gz
cd ns-allinone-2.35
./install
6) During ns 2 installation if you find linkstate error
linkstate/ls.h:137:58: note: use ‘this->erase’ instead
make: *** [linkstate/ls.o] Error 1
Ns make failed!
Then
You must edit the line number 137 of ns-2.35/linkstate/ls.h from
void eraseAll() { erase(baseMap::begin(), baseMap::end()); }
to
void eraseAll() { this->erase(baseMap::begin(), baseMap::end()); }

Now again Goto Step 5 to install again! (./install)


7) After Installation Completed
Type following commands on terminal
sudo gedit ~/.bashrc

Copy the following lines in red AT THE END of the file.#
