What is the error message? I'd try to build/run this old version of
ndnSIM on a comparably old version of Ubuntu, such as 18.04, perhaps
in a VM. Might have better luck.

ns-3.29 should be correct based on the release notes:
https://ndnsim.net/2.7/RELEASE_NOTES.html

Not sure about this (I didn't check), but pybindgen should not be
required if you don't need the python bindings.
