It is a problem finding a shared library. orbit-idl-2 looks for the 
libORBit-2-cpp.so library. If it can't find/load it then it complains 
about backend not found. Make sure that library has been correctly 
installed. You can always use the --backenddir option to orbit-idl-2. 
Granted this is not a nice solution.

I couldn't see anything obviously wrong, but I'm not familiar with stow. 
I use GARNOME and have been very happy with it in general.

PS I don't think you need to install linc anymore, it was consumed by 
ORBit2 a little while ago now.
