[Mini-NDN] Multi Router NLSR config

[S Khorasani]

Dear Ashlesh,

In advance, thank you very much for your helps.
Regarding your previous comment, I built and installed all packages from
the sources regarding the instructions. The required paths created and
files carefully copied to the paths.
But mini-NDN fails (without any error message at CLI or log). Also manual
execution of NLSR results in bad config file's format. Could you please let
me know whether the problem is with defualt config file or mini-NDN
executes NLSR with different config file. Where do you think the problem
may be from?

Many thanks,
skh
