[R Logeshwaran]

Hi I'm a research scholar doing my research in networking for that i use
NS-2 package (ns-allinone-2.29). it will work good in Fedora-9 which uses
GCC-4.3.
My system is a new one it is not possible for me to install Fedora-9. So i
have installed Fedora 16, but now NS.2.29 is not working in fedora 16 since
the GCC compiler is 4.6.
so i need a solution to downgrade gcc to 4.3.0 version. else solution to
run NS2.29 in fedora16
please help me...
thanking you

You’ve had some good suggestions: one other would be to install Fedora 9
or a RHEL 5 rebuild (such as Centos 5) in a virtual machine, and see if
that works.

Another would be to use the compat-gcc package.

Hope this helps,

James.

A google for ns-allinone + "fedora 16" got 8500 hits.

I think your best bet for gcc is to get the tarball directly from the
GNU project and install in /usr/local.  I have done this before and it
works well enough.  IIRC, the instructions for building from source are
clear enough.

Other than fixing NS2.29 (which may be beyond the scope of your work), you can 
either download the source of GCC-4.3, build, and install it yourself on the 
system, or download a binary of 4.3 from GCC website for the one that match 
your system if they have it.

Wouldn't it make more sense to fix ns-allinone to build with more recent
versions of gcc?
