[omniORB] omniORB4b2, darwin, resolving RootPOA throws exception

[Rainer Frohnhoefer]

  Hi,

  I'm having trouble wih omniORB4 beta2 on a freshly updated MacOS X 
(10.2) system. Build worked like a charm, omniNames is up and running. 
When I try to start a tiny test server, it fails at

    .....
     // Obtain a reference to the root POA.
     CORBA::Object_var obj = orb->resolve_initial_references("RootPOA");
     cout << "poa here?" << endl;
    .....

  with a CORBA::Exception.

  I've read about this sort of error in the lists and the reason was 
trouble with the hostname setup. When run with tracelevel 25, the 
address is reported to be 0.0.0.0

  It's a machine with a fixed IP address and the /etc/hosts setup (or 
rather, its NetInfo counterpart) seems to be OK.

  Did I miss something obvious (currently, my primary language is Java 
and it takes some time to get back into C++ again)? Does anybody have a 
working setup with OS X 10.2?

  Any hints, help, pointer appreciated.


	Regards,
		Rainer.



I attached the trace with tracelevel 25 ....
