Why did you do things that way?  That is not necessary, and it is not
what it tells you to do in the omniORBpy README.txt file.

This is what the instructions say, and you only need to do that,
nothing else:

   If you do not have Autoconf support on your platform (e.g. on
   Windows), you must install the omniORBpy source in the $TOP/src/lib
   directory of a working omniORB 4.2 tree. Make sure the directory is
   called omniORBpy -- if you downloaded a release archive you must
   rename the directory to remove the version from the directory name.

   Once you have the source in the right place, simply do a make export
   in the $TOP/src/lib/omniORBpy directory.

You do not need to set any environment variables. You do not need to
edit any files.

Duncan.
