Hi,

It should work fine now, note:
1. pygoocanvas is breaking now so please use this to build
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dnut/PKGBUILDs/master/pygoocanvas/PKGBUILD
2. NS3 has RAM requirement so please make sure you have at least 2G memory.

Just a heads up, the dependency "python2-pygraphviz" should be renamed to "python2-graphviz".

First of all, like FlorianJacob said, Mercurial should be a dependency or this will not install properly. And so should pygoocanvas.

Secondly, I thought this would have given me python bindings to ns3. Does it not? Because I can not import ns or ns.core in python. It says there is no such module.

The ns3 modules are installed into /usr/lib64 which would cause problems when installing.

Should add the following build option in PKGBUILD
--libdir=/usr/lib \
to ./build.py \

Also the pygccxml should suffice.

Maybe mercurial should not be an optional, but (or also) a build dependency? I got an error because it was not installed on my machine when it tried to download the sources.

I couldn't compile it using pygccxml-svn as dependency, i used pygccxml instead and it worked
