Prerequisite Trash.Main Procedure if you have root access

All the required software will be installed by RPM (Redhat Package Manager) under the /usr directory. For more information on RPM in general please go to http://www.barmala.de/rpm.en.php.

Installing OMNeT++

There is a glitch in the OMNeT++ 2.3 distribution which prevents the IPv6Suite running properly. Until this issue is cleared up, install the OMNeT++ (patched) by using the rpm file provided at the bottom of the page (more information about the OMNeT++ 2.3 glitch). Do the following actions as the "root" user:

  1. Install tcl and tk if it is not installed. Also install tk-devel and tcl-devel rpm packages if they exist e.g. on Fedora Core 1 and 2.
  2. rpmbuild --rebuild --define "cvsdate XXXX" omnetpp-X.X-X.src.rpm (where XXXX is the date i.e. 20040608 in the rpm filename.)
  3. rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/omnetpp-X.X-X.i386.rpm
Note When rebuilding or installing the packages the following message appears: warning: user johnny does not exist - using root It is safe to ignore this.

Let's now check that OMNeT++ is installed ok:

  1. rpm -q omnetpp
  2. login as an ordinary user.
  3. mkdir ~/oppsim
  4. cd ~/oppsim
  5. cp -R /usr/share/doc/omnetpp-XXXXX/samples/hcube .
  6. cd hcube
  7. opp_makemake -f
  8. make
  9. ./hcube
You should now be able to see hcube simulation running.

Installing Support Libraries and Utilities

RedHat?/FC users need to make sure you have the following installed from yum/apt, CDROM or other sources

The following instructions in this section assume you download the srpms from here.

No C++ XML libraries are needed as long as omnetpp releases from 20040914 are used.

  1. rpmbuild --rebuild blt-xxx.src.rpm
  2. rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/blt-xxx.i386.rpm
  3. rpmbuild --rebuild cmake-xxx.src.rpm (As of ipv6suite-0.92_20041119 you can simply download the static binary tarball from www.cmake.org if you want to save some time)
  4. rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/cmake-xxx.i386.rpm

Installing boost

This is necessary if boost is not installed or no header files for your boost installation in /usr/include/boost
  1. download boost-xxx.src.rpm and boost-jam-xxx.src.rpm from here.
  2. rpmbuild --rebuild boost-jam-xxx.src.rpm
  3. rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/boost-jam-xxx.i386.rpm
  4. rpmbuild --rebuild boost-xxx.src.rpm
  5. rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/boost-xxx.i386.rpm
  6. rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/boost-devel-xxx.i386.rpm (unless the file does not exist which depends on which version of boost and where you downloaded it from)

OLD Installing Support Libraries and Utilities

These instructions are valid for ipv6suite releases that were old and exist on these twiki pages only. These are unsupported now. Check the comments alongside the download files on these twiki pages for the particular versions required.

There are two support libraries used in IPv6Suite: Xerces-C for its XML parsing library and Boost. Only Xerces-C requires compilation to produce a dynamic library. Boost is a template library and so the headers are included by IPv6Suite.

Download the RPMs attached at the bottom of the page (md5 checksums in the comments column). You should right click on the link and click Save As otherwise it may display the RPM in the browser. You can download them to any temporary directory. These instructions assume you are in that directory. The RPMs include all patches and should not require any additional manual steps from you. Install IPv6Suite after all of these prerequisite libraries have been installed.

  1. rpmbuild --rebuild boost-jam-xxx.src.rpm
  2. rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/boost-jam-xxx.i386.rpm
  3. rpmbuild --rebuild boost-xxx.src.rpm (Fedora Core 2 (FC2) users, skip the boost installation step since FC2 comes with boost. )
  4. rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/boost-xxx.i386.rpm (FC2 users need to make sure boost-devel is installed check with rpm -q boost-devel)
  5. rpmbuild --rebuild xerces-c-xxx.src.rpm
  6. rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/xerces-c-xxx.i386.rpm
  7. rpmbuild --rebuild cmake-xxx.src.rpm (As of ipv6suite-0.92_20041119 you can simply download the static binary tarball from www.cmake.org if you want to save some time)
  8. rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/cmake-xxx.i386.rpm

Note Do NOT attempt the following

this does not install the package. It merely extracts contents of the src.rpm.
