I would suggest trying the following:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="~/omniorb/lib/".

It will generally NOT work like you have it.

The tilde (~) is a shorthand for your home directory. The ~/.bashrc file is
read every time you execute a bash shell; if you want something exported
"globally" and only once (once meaning "when you log in"), you should add it
to your ~/.bash_profile file.

You should only uncomment the last (i.e. "platform=") line; comment the first 
line again. Also, if I have it correctly, you don't even need this if you used 
the configure script as the configure script takes care of platform 
"detection".

There is no Makefile in the config directory, so after you have applied these 
changes you should cd .. to get back to the top-level directory that contains
a Makefile (or, in omniORB's case, a GNUmakefile).

My suggestion would be to just add the above environment variable to your
~/.bashrc file. I don't think it is necessary for you to rebuild everything.
