(already mailed to the person who asked the question, but I thought I'd 
 repeat this on the list)

The IRIX (MIPSpro) compiler has supported namespaces since v 7.2 I think.
OmniORB 2.7.1 doesn't make use of this - not a criticism btw, maybe 
compatibility with the 7.1 compiler was required, or reopening was never 
needed.

I've added the following to omniORB_2.7.1/include/omniORB2/CORBA_sysdep.h:

#if defined(__irix__) 

# if _COMPILER_VERSION >= 720
#  define HAS_Cplusplus_Namespace
# endif

#endif

(I think this change will be incorporated into omniORB 2.8)

CC -n32 -version   will tell you what version of the C++ compiler you have.
