[omniORB] Problems in installing and compiling with AIX 4.2

[Mitchell, Brian]

Hi,

	I'm trying to install and compile omniORB_280 on an RS6000 AIX 4.2
system using the xlc compiler.
I have set the platform type to AIX 4.2.
During compilation (make export) stage I got hundreds of warnings like the
ones below. Also during compilation of any
application that uses omniORB I get these warnings.

I have set the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point the lib/powerpc_aix_4.2 directory,
I also have the $PATH pointing to
this directory. If I try to run a naming service as "omniNames -start 1812"
I get errors telling me that it cant find the
libraries needed. I have added my library directory below. In the library
directory I have no shared libraries e.g. *.so.*
This directory also looks very different to a SUN or an Alpha version of the
libs.

If you can answer one or more of the questions I would be very grateful.

Has it all compiled ok? am I missing the symbolic links? why did I get all
the warnings? and why cant omniNames
see the libraries that it needs?

Brian.
