The Castalia project by default uses Cmdenv mode only. In order to run simulation in Tkenv open makemake file (from root directory) in a text editor and add -u Tkenv to the OPTS variable. As a consequence, this line should look like:

OPTS=" -f -r --deep -o CastaliaBin -u Cmdenv -u Tkenv -P $ROOT -M release"

Next, open Ubuntu terminal, go to root directory of the Castalia project and type ./makemake. (This has to be done every time after changing of makemake file.) Then type: make clean && make.

The solution is based on this line: User interface 'Tkenv' not found (not linked in or loaded dynamically). Available ones are: Cmdenv : command-line user interface.

This means that OMNeT++ itself was built without Tk support. Follow carefully the Installation guide. It specifies exactly what pakages you should install before running the ./configure. It's most likely that you have not installed the development Tk and Tcl packages.

Hint: watch the output of the ./configure command closely. It prints out whether Tk was correctly detected or not.
