[omniORB] Cross platform blues

[lou_liz@iafrica.com]

Hello,

What am I doing wrong here?  Please help.

- I run omniNames, eg3_impl, eg3_clt on different PC's, all on Win32 platforms, 
and hey, presto, it works!
- I run omniNames, eg3_impl, eg3_clt on the same PC with RH Linux 7.0 (gcc 
2.96), and it still works!
- I run omniNames on a Win32 PC, eg3_impl on another Win32 PC, eg3_clt on a 
Linux PC, and whaddaya know, it works!
- I run omniNames on a Win32 PC, eg3_impl on Linux, end eg3_clt says the 
following (from Linux and/or Win32):
"Caught system exception COMM_FAILURE -- unable to contact the naming service"
- I run omniNames from a Linux PC, eg3_impl from another Linux PC, and eg3_clt 
says the same thing (from Linux and/or Win32)
- I run omniNames from a Linux PC, eg3_impl from Win32, and I get the same 
error.

Setting ORBtraceLevel 25 gives the following:

Also: 
- If I modify the constructor as follows:
     Echo_i() {perror("Current status:");}
  I get the following output:
  (Win32) "Current status: No error"
  (Linux) "Current status: Interrupted system call"

Also:
- On Linux only: if I run 'eg3_clt -ORBtraceLevel 25' it runs through and then 
seems to hang until I press Ctrl-C.  If I leave out the '-ORBtraceLevel 25' 
then it returns OK.

Are all these problems related or what?  Maybe i'm linking to the wrong 
libraries on Linux?

Thanks in advance.
