omniidl thinks your IDL file is empty. I don't know why. The fact that
omniidl isn't seeing your IDL explains why it doesn't complain about the
errors in the IDL.

The empty generated code claims to come from omniORB 4.2 (the current
development branch), yet you say you are using omniORB 4.1.4. What
exactly are you doing, and how?  Give step-by-step details of exactly
what you have done.

How does the way you are running omniidl differ from the way omniidl is
run when the echo example is compiled?  If the echo example works,
omniidl is clearly working fine.

Cheers,
