omniNames: Interoperability with Orbix

[Jan Lessner]

Hello omniORB'ers
I'd like to use omniNames from an Orbix server to implement a bridge
functionality. So I read the IOR of the root context from the file
pointed to be env. variable OMNIORB_CONFIG, perform a string_to_object
and narrow the object to a CosNaming::NamingContext. But when I do so
the narrowing fails with an exception saying

Unexpected system exception
10426-- Error accessing interface repository
  - Cannot bind to Interface Repository
  [Completion status : COMPLETED_NO]

Did anyone try something similar before? Is that a problem of Orbix or
omniORB? Or is it (what I hope!) just a missusage in my application?

Any help is wellcome.
