Hope you would have tried installing NS2 in Fedora 16. Now here is a new post that you can install ns2.35 in Fedora 17 beta.

  1. Install Fedora 17 beta from a DVD and install all the softwares that are coming along with the DVD (Except the Languages). There will be a "Customize now" option will be there during the installation of Fedora, check that and install all the required softwares.
  2. Download NS-23.5 from http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/
  3. Untar the downloaded ns-allinone-xxx.tar.gz file using the command “tar zxvf ns-allinone-2.35.tar.gz”
  4. execute the commands one by one as given below

cd ns-allinone-2.35

./install

(you may get an error called ~ns-2.35/linkstate/ls.h error in line number 137, 

change the following line to 

                            void eraseAll() { erase(baseMap::begin(), baseMap::end()); }

to this line

                            void eraseAll() { this->erase(baseMap::begin(), baseMap::end()); }

and again give

./install

(You get the PATH information if the installation was successful, upon succeeding set the PATH in the relevant file .bash_profile)

Type ns and see a  % symbol indicates that the installation of ns2 is successful and also try the command  nam so that a network animator will be opened.

For any doubts, please raise a comment in the following column. I am there to help you.

Simulation of URDF, Gazebo and Rviz | ROS Noetic Tutorial 8

By
Design a User-defined robot of your choice (or you can use the URDF file) and enable the LIDAR Scanner so that any obstacle placed on the path of the light scan will cut the light rays. Visualize the robot in the Gazebo workspace, and also show the demonstration in RViz.   (NB: Gain knowledge on wiring URDF file and .launch file for enabling any user-defined robot to get launched in the gazebo platform.) SLAM : One of the most popular applications of ROS is SLAM(Simultaneous Localization and Mapping). The objective of the SLAM in mobile robotics is to construct and update the map of an unexplored environment with the help of the available sensors attached to the robot which will be used for exploring. URDF: Unified Robotics Description Format, URDF, is an XML specification used in academia and industry to model multibody systems such as robotic manipulator arms for manufacturing assembly lines and animatronic robots for amusement parks. URDF is especially popular with users of the ...
