    thank you for your reply...
    but i installed ns2 in windows using cygwin but there is some problems arised when installing ... i.e. the gcc compiler is not installing automatically ..
    i think i need to install it manually .... so i'm searching the way.😔
    And also some one explain about ADHOC networks.
    and also why we need NS2 for it.

    I had similar issues with cygwin, so proceeded with Ubuntu .

    As far as you questions related to using NS2 for adhoc is considered, I think its not only simulator available, NS 2 is generally for wired and wireless networks , I found this other simulator as well try giving it a go

    ns2 lacks graphics. Omnet++ is easy to install in windows & has graphics.
    Its programming is done in C.

    If you can get your hands on a Cisco IOS, then GNS3 is the bomb.

    Your environment variable 'PATH' is not properly set.
    For this error, you have to include a path for fetching the commands from the bin directory, search for bin directories & try including them.
    Use command : "echo $PATH" to see the paths included.
    For including a path, do : export PATH="<same path>/bin:$PATH"


    Further try google : setting environment variables in Linux
