[omniORB] omniNames won't start

It seems that the error described below is connected to omniORB ipv6 support. I rebuilt and installed omniORB 4.1.0, after running 'configure' with the '--disable-ipv6' argument. Now 'omniNames -start' runs without apparent error.

Is there some other way to solve this without disabling ipv6?

Thanks,
Tom

  Hello,

  I've installed omniORB 4.1.0 on my Redhat machine. According to the README.unix file, the only steps needed to start the naming service are as follows:

   Set the environment variable OMNINAMES_LOGDIR to a directory where the naming service omniNames can store its data. For example:
       OMNINAMES_LOGDIR=/wib/wob; export OMNINAMES_LOGDIR

  Start omniNames.
      $ omniNames -start &

  I do this, and get the following error message:

    omniORB -start &
    omniORB: Error: Unable to create an endpoint of this description: giop:tcp::2809

    Failed to initialise the POAs. Is omniNames already running?

  The directory pointed to by $OMNINAMES_LOGDIR is empty, so apparently the naming service never started. 

  I've been reading documentation for a few hours, but cannot find any more details on how to start the naming service. Does anyone know where I can find such documentation? Are there other steps I must take that are not documented in README.unix?

  I then set tracelevel=20, but I don't know where to look for clues - here is the output of "omniNames -start":
