Eh?  The omniidl used by both C++ omniORB and omniORBpy is _exactly_
the same program. That's why it has the same name. If you install C++
omniORB and omniORBpy in the same place, the common parts of the IDL
compiler are shared.

Anyway, if the omniidl on your path only has the python back-end
available to it, the error from omniidl is "No module named cxx", not
"cannot import name header" as reported by the original poster.

Cheers,

Duncan.
