[omniORB] omniNames problem

[Goral, Jack]

I can confirm that RadHat 7.1 works OK as long as you keep Python 1.5.2.
I am running it right now.

I tried to upgrade Python to 2.2.1 on RH7.1 and I was getting same error
messages as on Mandrake. What Python has to do with that?

RedHat and Mandrake both use gcc-2.96

That is not the problem. That message is purely for information.
omniNames is not meant to be linked with the omniDynamic library.

That is almost certainly the problem. Make sure you have the latest
versions of the compiler and libstdc++. It's possible that Mandrake's
versions of these are still broken. RedHat's latest ones seem to work
OK.

A better solution is to use gcc 2.95.x. Apparently gcc 3.0.1 works,
too.

Cheers,

Duncan.
