Thanks, that took care of it. I independently hit upon that when I got a
more intelligible error message from the nameclt tool. (I had a typo in one
of the environment variables...)

A suggestion: Why not have omniNames print a warning when it finds that
this hasn't been done right? It might keep down traffic on the mailing list
:-)

I used gcc 3.0, and it seemed to work fine. Phew! Now OmniORB is once again
featured as the ORB of choice in Core Java.
