<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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:</FONT></DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
<DIV><BR> Set the environment variable OMNINAMES_LOGDIR to a directory
where the naming service omniNames can store its data. For
example:<BR> OMNINAMES_LOGDIR=/wib/wob; export
OMNINAMES_LOGDIR</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Start omniNames.<BR> $ omniNames -start &</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I do this, and get the following error message:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Courier New"> omniORB -start &</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Courier New"> omniORB: Error: Unable to create an
endpoint of this description: giop:tcp::2809</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Courier New"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Courier New"> Failed to initialise the POAs. Is omniNames
already running?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The directory pointed to by $OMNINAMES_LOGDIR is empty, so apparently the
naming service never started. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I then set tracelevel=20, but I don't know where to look for clues - here
is the output of "omniNames -start":</DIV>
