Most likely, omniORBpy has picked up the wrong version of the omniORB
libraries.

Run ldd on /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/_omnipymodule.so. I suspect
you'll see that it's linking against a different omniORB library than
the one you think.

No. You must configure it with the prefix you are going to install it
with. That's the point of the prefix.
