[omniORB] Installation and Configuration on RedHat 6.0

[Sai-Lai Lo]

Just to clear any confusion, I've spent half a day to configure a RH 6 box,
compile omniORB_2.8.0pre2 on the box and run my testsuite. 

I have not encountered any problem in the build or in running the test
programs.  The omniORB::loader works fine and I do not see the core
dump Mike Ladwig reported previously.

Just a few extra notes:

1. To compile, edit config.mk and select platform = i586_linux_2.0_glibc.
   Edit <top>/mk/platforms/i586_linux_2.0_glibc.mk and changed
       CXX = g++
       CC  = gcc
   The default were /usr/local/egcs/bin/g++ and /usr/local/egcs/bin/gcc 

2. The source  <top>/src/lib/omniORB2/orbcore/gatekeepers/alone/gatekeeper.cc
     Add #include <unistd.h> to remove the warning about gethostname().

3. I'm using linux kernel 2.2.12, not the default that comes with Redhat.
   This is necessary to get all the nfs fixes so that the machine
   works in our environment. I do not expect this affects the running of
   applications.
