Problems in Installing NS2

Problem 1

checking for gcc... no

checking for cc... no
configure: error: no acceptable cc found in $PATH
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

You don't have a compiler installed. Start by installing the development tools and try again:

Red Hat:
yum groupinstall 'Development Tools'

Debian:
apt-get install build-essential

Open Solaris:
pkg install SUNWgcc
