[omniORB] Newby question about cout hanging

[Sai-Lai Lo]

Hello Sai-Lai,

Rebuilding omniORB using the version of gcc provided with RH7 didn't help.
But I installed the 2.96-69 update for gcc, and the 2.2-9 update for glibc,
and my example now works as expected.  So if other users report problems
with RH7 then these updates may be worth trying.

Kevin

The binary we provided only works for Redhat 6.x. RH7 ships with a
different and incompatible g++/gcc. You'll have all sorts of problems
trying to use our 6.2 binaries.

Also, I've heard report that there are other problems with compiling
omniORB using the gcc compiler on RH7. You should either down grade to RH
6.2 or install your own gcc compiler. 2.95.2 seems OK.
