How to install GlomoSim in Linux Mint & Ubuntu & RedHat

In GloMoSim we are building a scalable simulation environment for wireless and wired network systems. It is being designed using the parallel discrete-event simulation capability provided by Parsec. GloMoSim currently supports protocols for a purely wireless network. In the future, we anticipate adding functionality to simulate a wired as well as a hybrid network with both wired and wireless capabilities.

$tar -xzvf glomosim-2.03.tar.gz

• Set Environment variable

$ gedit ~/.bashrc

Then add following lines

PCC_DIRECTORY=GloMoSim_ROOT/glomosim-2.03/parsec/redhat-7.2
export PCC_DIRECTORY

• Copy both files pcc and parsecc from glomosim-2.03/parsec/redhat-7.2/bin/ dir and copy into usr/bin dir

$ sudo cp glomosim-2.03/parsec/redhat-7.2/bin/pcc glomosim-2.03/parsec/redhat-7.2/bin/parsecc usr/bin
