[omniORB] omniNames won't start

Hello,

I've installed omniORB 4.1.0 on my Redhat machine. According to the README.unix file, the only steps needed to start the naming service are as follows:

 Set the environment variable OMNINAMES_LOGDIR to a directory where the naming service omniNames can store its data. For example:
     OMNINAMES_LOGDIR=/wib/wob; export OMNINAMES_LOGDIR

Start omniNames.
    $ omniNames -start &

I do this, and get the following error message:

  omniORB -start &
  omniORB: Error: Unable to create an endpoint of this description: giop:tcp::2809

  Failed to initialise the POAs. Is omniNames already running?

The directory pointed to by $OMNINAMES_LOGDIR is empty, so apparently the naming service never started. 

I've been reading documentation for a few hours, but cannot find any more details on how to start the naming service. Does anyone know where I can find such documentation? Are there other steps I must take that are not documented in README.unix?

I then set tracelevel=20, but I don't know where to look for clues - here is the output of "omniNames -start":
