Installation issue

[xwenarthur]

Hi Mani

I'm really sorry to disturb you. I'm a graduate from US. Now I got an installation problem. When I run './runme', a configure error generates, as the figure shows.

I'm confused because I'm sure I installed osgearth package.

If I set 'WITH_OSGEARTH=no' in configure.user, there is another error shown below.

What should I do? I really need your help. Because this's my graduation thesis. :)

Thank you!

If I set 'WITH_OSGEARTH=no' in configure.user, there is another error shown below.

you should not use that flag, because osgearth lib is needed during compile time.

What version of Ubuntu are you running? 16.04?

[xwenarthur]

Yes. I use Ubuntu 16.04

[ManiAm]

can you run this command in terminal and tell me the output?

echo $PATH

Also this:

dpkg -l '*osg*'

I get these outputs:

[xwenarthur]

Sure! Thank you for your time.

[ManiAm]

Also this:

dpkg -l '*osg*'

[xwenarthur]

Here is it.

[ManiAm]

it is identical to my system. The error you get is from the g++ compiler itself! Notice that the error says internal error!

I suggest you to go to the omnet directory from the terminal and run make clean to clean the build and then run make all. Then run the runme script again.

[xwenarthur]

Thank you! I did it but another problem shows up. It seems 'Makefile.inc' doesn't exist. There is only a file called 'Makefile.inc.in', as the figure shows.

[ManiAm]

I thought that the runme script has run the configure command for you first. Run these:

./configure make

[xwenarthur]

When I go to the omnet directory and type in: ./configure make

It still says 'configure: error: Cannot find osgEarth......'

Makefile:36: Makefile.inc: No such file or directory make: *** No rule to make target 'Makefile.inc'. Stop.

I have even deleted the Ubuntu and re-installed it. But it still happens... :(

[ManiAm]

this is very strange! unfortunately I do not have any more hints for you. I even installed VENTOS from scratch on a fresh Ubuntu and it worked! I suggest you to download OMNET from their official website and follow their installation guide to install it on Ubuntu and then import VENTOS.

[xwenarthur]

Ok. Btw, should I install OMNET 5.0 or 5.1?

Thank you!

[ManiAm]

OMNET 5.1:

Thank you Mani. Now I'm able to install VENTOS on my mac. The trick is that the VirtualBox, not Parallel Desktop should be used.

But now I got another problem, when running the sample scenario. Is there any idea?

[ManiAm]

The trick is that the VirtualBox, not Parallel Desktop should be used.

I though that you are already using VirtualBox or VMWare. I am not familiar with parallel desktop. But if it is a virtual machine it should not matter!

But now I got another problem, when running the sample scenario. Is there any idea?

Your run configuration is wrong! The working dir should point to a folder in the example folder (platoon_cacc) and ini file(s) should be omnetpp.ini in your example.

[xwenarthur]

Thank you a lot, Mani!!!

Finally, I'm able to run the simulation scenario! :)

[ManiAm]

Good! i am closing this issue.
