Please add more information. Are you compiling from source code? What commands did you run? And 17.01 is not a version. Do you mean 17.04? — fosslinux, Mar 25 '18 at 21:40
I'm trying to install Ubuntu 16.04. I've checked now that the 17.10 it's a LTS version. Maybe that could be the problem? — Rery, Mar 25 '18 at 21:56

'ns-2.35' Ubuntu 17.10 : sudo apt install g++-5 → I.e. no later than g++-5 (>=5.4) can be used. Note : You can have as many gcc versions as you want, installed at the same time.

tar xvf ns-allinone-2.35_gcc5.tar.gz           // 2014 - 2017 update

cd ns-allinone-2.35/
export CC=gcc-5 CXX=g++-5 && ./install
cd ns-2.35/
sudo make install
