Robert,

what are the problems you have installing omniORB ? I've done so on a RH 6.0
machine and had absolutely no problems. Just do the following:

* build and install in your favourit place (addding the appropriate
  paths to PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH as well as letting the developers know
  where to find the headers

* set the OMNINAMES_LOGDIR environment variable to a convenient place

* create somewhere a file 'omniORB.cfg' containing the hostname and port
  used by the omniNames demon as well as set the variable OMNIORB_CONFIG
  to point to this file

* start omniNames

and that's it. It's all well documented in the README.unix file. I find
the existing documentation quite correct to get up and running.
