Sonia,

I suspect that you may have compiled python with an older version of
gcc and this may give you problems. You didn't mention the contents of
LD_LIBRARY_PATH so please do an ldd on /usr/local/bin/python and make
sure that the path for the gcc runtime libraries is in your
LD_LIBRARY_PATH. If it is, then also do an ldd on _omniidlmodule.so
and see what paths it needs. If you need two different versions of any
gcc libraries then this may not work until you rebuild python with
gcc-3.1.

I built python 2.1.3 and omniORB-4.0.0 on solaris 8 with gcc 3.2.1 and
it worked fine.
