How to Install Omnet++ in Ubuntu 8.04

OMNeT++ is a public-source, component-based, modular and open-architecture simulation environment with strong GUI support and an embeddable simulation kernel.

I have install omnet++ in my pc and also in my laptop. Both with same version of ubuntu 8.04 but with different errors when compiling the source. Upon success, you can run the samples using ./rundemo command and below window will pop up nicely. :)

Omnet Demo

Here are the steps :

1. Download the simulator archive from omnetpp.org

2. sudo tar zxf omnetpp-3.4b2-src.tgz -C /usr/local/ ; cd /usr/local ; sudo ln -s omnetpp-3.4b2 omnetpp

3. sudo apt-get install bison flex blt lmodern giftrans doxygen libxml2-dev graphviz imagemagick

4. sudo apt-get install tcl8.4 tk8.4 tcl8.4-dev tk8.4-dev

5. export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/omnetpp/lib

6. export TCL_LIBRARY=/usr/share/tcltk/tcl8.4

7. export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/omnetpp/bin

8. cd /usr/local/omnetpp;sudo ./configure;

9. sudo make

(Step 5,6,7 may be added into ~/.bashrc for future convenience. Remember to remove the word export!)

Following all those step should be no problem. It will be a problem once you in step 9 where compiler will be complaint about some command not found. Example :

opp_msgc -Xnc -Xns sim_std.msg

make[1]: opp_msgc: Command not found

Solution :

10. sudo -i

11. cd /usr/local/omnetpp;export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/omnetpp/bin

12. make

I have successfully install omnet++ using the steps mention above but when installing it in my pc,i have error: Standard C Math Library not found when running steps 8.

Solution: sudo apt-get install build-essential

Well, that’s all. enjoy your omnet++

    Nice post. Unfortunately, Omnet team is migrating its webserver, and it is impossible to download omnet’s tar from there. Is there any possibility you send me your local copy?

    Thanks…

    Hi Franco,thanks. hmm..I can’t find my tar source that i download previously.
    anyway,I just create it again using my current folder but i’m not sure if it is ok to use it.
    If you like, you can download it here.

    Hi, The instructions are really helpful.
    However My ubuntu installation 8.04 fails to recognize the package “lmodern”.. Searching on internet didn’t help either.
    Looking forward to feedback
    Regards

    Hi Rana,

    frankly, I also not sure how to solve this because i am not encounter this problem previously.

    maybe you can try below command in order:

    1. sudo apt-get install tex-common

    2. sudo apt-get install lmodern

    let me know yeah. :)

    Hi,
    Thanks for the help but I had quite a lot of troubles. First of all I had to manually download and compile blt because omnet’s configure script wouldn’t find it despite it being installed with apt-get. Then I’m having warnings for not setting properly the environmental variables needed, although I added the suggested lines both in ~/.bashrc, ~/.bash_profile and even /etc/environment (tried both with and without the export keyword). In the end the only thing that worked was launching manually the commands as root (with sudo -i). Don’t know much about bashrc and environmental variables in linux, tried to do some research but couldn’t solve the problem. Anyhow I hope this is useful to someone else :)

    hi there manuhalo, thanks for visit. So i think now you can run the demo without a problem right ? I also have those warning when I install omnet in my friend laptop, but I still manage to run the demo.
    good luck.

    Dear

    in very files I added stdlib.h and string.h as an include to dismiss errors in compiling. did I miss anything in installation or this is normal?

    Hello,
    I followed your steps. But in step 8, when i typed “sudo ./configure” it raised an error:
    “Application initialization failed: no display name and no $DISPLAY environment variable
    configure: error: Cannot run wish (wish command “puts OK; exit” failed): maybe you are not running X or DISPLAY environment variable not set?”

    Can anyone help me to fix this problem??? im so confusing now with this problem :(
    Thank in advance.
