pradeep@localhost $] sudo apt-get install python-dev python-kiwi python-pygoocanvas python-pygraphviz
pradeep@localhost $]  sudo apt-get install python-gnome2 python-gnomedesktop python-rsvg
Once installed, go to the ns-allinone-3.20 folder and execute this command 
pradeep@localhost $] cd ns-allinone-3.20
pradeep@localhost $] ./build.py --enable-examples --enable-tests

 Thus "visualize" is installed successfully.
the general command to run the visualize is 
./waf --run myprogram --vis 
or
./waf --run myprogram --visualize

pradeep@localhost $] cd ns-allinone-3.20/ns-3.20
