What exactly are the steps you have performed, and what exactly went
wrong?

It sounds like you are trying to set the install path to the same as the
build path, which may well cause problems. You should set prefix to
somewhere other than the build tree. e.g.:

cd omniORB-4.1.4
mkdir build
cd build
../configure --prefix=/usr/local
make
make install


With those steps, it compiles all the static libraries fine.

Cheers,

Duncan.
