[omniORB] ir.idl?

[Mike Ladwig]

Thanks for the reply.

That solved part of the problem; now I understand what the 
EXTERNAL_GUARD stuff is all about.  Unfortunately, now I have other 
problems.  I've appended the error messages, but the gist is that none 
of the types and skeletons associated with InterfaceDef (what I'm really 
after) appear to be defined.  The first error on the CosQuery.hh line:

typedef CORBA::_sk_InterfaceDef _sk_QLType;

The second (line 218 is)

class QL_Sequence : public _CORBA_Unbounded_Sequence_ObjRef< 
CORBA::_objref_InterfaceDef, _CORBA_ObjRef_Element< 
CORBA::_objref_InterfaceDef, CORBA::InterfaceDef_Helper> , QLType_Helper> {

and so on.

Thanks,
mike.
