Re: [orbitcpp-list] CosNaming.idl compilation problems

[Richard A. <ric...@ix...>]

Looks like your system doesn't compile shared libraries. The c++ back-end
needs to be compiled as a shared library because it has to be dynamically
opened at run time. Make sure you didn't use the the --disable-shared
option for configure.

I had a similar problem using libstdc++-2.90.8 with gcc-2.95.2 because
there was no shared version of libstdc++ (this is probably the problem you
are having as well).

My suggestion is ditch the RH compiler (2.96) and get a CVS version of
gcc-3 and libstdc++-3. There are RPMs and source tarballs at
www.codesourcery.com/gcc-snapshots. They are very stable. I've used these
compilers recently to compile orbitcpp. 
Install into a non-standard location so you don't clobber the existing
system compiler. You're looking at about 5M download for gcc and libstdc++
binary RPMs.

I did this

rpm -i --prefix=/usr/develop gcc-XXX.rpm

And the same with the libstdc++ rpm

Then put /usr/develop at the top of the search path.

You'll also need to set LD_LIBRARYPATH and LD_RUNPATH environment variables
to point to /usr/develop/lib.


Hope this helps
