That looks like omnicpp, the C pre-processor has died. You can confirm
it by trying to run omnicpp on Naming.idl. Assuming it is omnicpp, the
problem is most likely that it was compiled with incorrect word
sizes.

Did you use the configure script?  If so, it should have worked. If
not, that's the problem, because config-hpux.h in
src/tool/omniidl/cxx/cccp/ hard-codes 32-bit word sizes for HPUX.

Cheers,

Duncan.
