There is absolutely no way you will ever manage to get two different
C++ ORBs running in a single process. It doesn't matter if it's
omniORB and TAO or any other two ORBs. The C++ mapping requires the
definition of lots of types and functions, and these will inevitably
clash if you try to link with both ORBs.

As others have said, there is no reason at all for you to use two ORBs
in one process. The whole point of CORBA is that one ORB can talk to
another. If you write your bridge just with TAO or just with omniORB,
it will happily talk to both TAO and omniORB.

By the way, your original message said you were using omniORB 4.0.3,
but the error you just posted shows you're using omniORB 3.0.x. If
possible, you should use 4.0.3.

Cheers,

Duncan.
