[omniORB] echo example (OmniORB 2.7.1 on IRIX64 6.5)

[David McNab]

I have a newbie question :^).  I installed release
2.7.1, telling it to use platform "mips_irix_6.5_n32",
on an SGI running IRIX64 6.5.  Everything seems to work
fine during the install.  I hacked the makefiles to
make -lpthread the last library in the chain.

I then tried to run the echo example.  'eg1' prints its
little "hello" message but then never returns.

'eg2_impl' spits out an IOR, which I provide as an
argument to 'eg2_clt', but the client never finds the
server.  After a long time it comes back with a "caught
system exception COMM FAILURE, unable to contact the
object" message.

'eg3_tieimpl.cc' doesn't compile.  The first error
message complains that identifier "_tie_Echo" is
undefined.

Should I expect this stuff to work properly in my
environment?  Do I need omniorb 2.8.0 for 64-bit land?
Or did I just pick the wrong example to experiment
with?
