Simulation of URDF, Gazebo and Rviz | ROS Noetic Tutorial 8

Design a User-defined robot of your choice (or you can use the URDF file) and enable the LIDAR Scanner so that any obstacle placed on the path of the light scan will cut the light rays. Visualize the robot in the Gazebo workspace, and also show the demonstration in RViz.   (NB: Gain knowledge on wiring URDF file and .launch file for enabling any user-defined robot to get launched in the gazebo platform.) SLAM : One of the most popular applications of ROS is SLAM(Simultaneous Localization and Mapping). The objective of the SLAM in mobile robotics is to construct and update the map of an unexplored environment with the help of the available sensors attached to the robot which will be used for exploring. URDF: Unified Robotics Description Format, URDF, is an XML specification used in academia and industry to model multibody systems such as robotic manipulator arms for manufacturing assembly lines and animatronic robots for amusement parks. URDF is especially popular with users of the Robo

Installation of NS2 (ns-2.35) in Ubuntu 20.04

Installation of NS2 (ns-2.35) in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS



Step 1: Install the basic libraries like
    
$] sudo apt install build-essential autoconf automake libxmu-dev

Step 2: install gcc-4.8 and g++-4.8

open the file using sudo mode
$] sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

Include the following line
deb http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic main universe

$] sudo apt update
$] sudo apt install gcc-4.8 g++-4.8

Step 3: 
Unzip the ns2 packages to home folder

$] tar zxvf ns-allinone-2.35.tar.gz
$] cd ns-allinone-2.35/ns-2.35

Modify the following make files.

~ns-2.35/Makefile.in

Change @CC@ to gcc-4.8
change @CXX@ to g++-4.8

~nam-1.15/Makefile.in
~xgraph-12.2/Makefile.in
~otcl-1.14/Makefile.in

Change in all places 
@CC@ to gcc-4.8
@CPP@ or @CXX@ to g++-4.8

open the file:
~ns-2.35/linkstate/ls.h

Change at the Line no 137 
void eraseAll() { erase(baseMap::begin(), baseMap::end()); }

to This
void eraseAll() { this->erase(baseMap::begin(), baseMap::end()); }

All changes made

Step 4: Open a new terminal

$] cd ns-allinone-2.35/

$] ./install

Step 5 - Set the PATH
Open a new Terminal, 

$] gedit .bashrc 

Paste the following lines

export PATH=$PATH:/home/<yourusername>/ns-allinone-2.35/bin:/home/<yourusername>/ns-allinone-2.35/tcl8.5.10/unix:/home/<yourusername>/ns-allinone-2.35/tk8.5.10/unix

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/<yourusername>/ns-allinone-2.35/otcl-1.14:/home/<yourusername>/ns-allinone-2.35/lib

  4. Hello Sir...
    I have completed step2 successfully and i got a message like g++-4.8 is already the newest version (4.8.5-4ubuntu8).
    gcc-4.8 is already the newest version (4.8.5-4ubuntu8).
    The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
    linux-headers-5.4.0-42 linux-headers-5.4.0-42-generic
    linux-image-5.4.0-42-generic linux-modules-5.4.0-42-generic
    linux-modules-extra-5.4.0-42-generic
    Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.
    0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

    But if I use gcc- command to check whether gcc-4.8 is installed or not, it is showing like ommand 'gcc-' not found, did you mean:

    command 'gcc-8' from deb gcc-8 (8.4.0-3ubuntu2)
    command 'gcc-9' from deb gcc-9 (9.3.0-10ubuntu2)
    command 'gcc' from deb gcc (4:9.3.0-1ubuntu2)
    command 'gcc-7' from deb gcc-7 (7.5.0-6ubuntu2)

    1. I faced the same problem check using the command "gcc-4.8 --version" and also grep using command 'dpkg -l|grep gcc' and you should be able to find it . hope this helps

    2. please do the following steps

      $] sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

      Include the following line
      deb http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic main universe

      $] sudo apt update
      $] sudo apt install gcc-4.8 g++-4.8

      for NS2.35 you can use gcc and g++ version up to 5.4
      if 4.8 isn't working try installing gcc-5 and g++5. then at the step where you modify the Makefile.in , use gcc-5 instead of gcc-4.8 and so on

  12. Command 'ns' not found, but can be installed with:
    sudo apt install ns2

    I followed the steps carefully but when I checked by command the terminal reply me [install by----- sudo apt get ns2] but nam is working here ....
    but when I run sudo apt get install ns2 then it shows working by checking ns & enter in the terminal...... here I am confused that from where the DSR protocol is working unzipped installed or by command installed ns2 ....
    I want to modify the DSR protocol ... where I can implement my modification?
