OK, but that means you are using a version with quite a few known bugs.
See

http://omniorb.sourceforge.net/bugs/bugfixes-415.html

and

http://omniorb.sourceforge.net/bugs/bugfixes-414.html

Each micro release (i.e. from 4.1.5 to 4.1.6) only includes bug fixes
and very small features, so it is usually wise to use the latest
release.

OK, so that means the build is working in general. Can you compare the
compile and link command lines used for the echo examples and those for
your application build?  I suspect there will be something different
about the way things are built that is causing the issue.

Cheers,
