Really?  How?

When I try to build this, I get:

---

markbo@moredhel/home/markbo/GNOME/ORBit-0.3.91/src/daemons/interface_repository 
140 ]gmake
../../../src/idl-compiler/orbit-idl interface_repository.idl
Error: syntax error

** WARNING **: Parse of interface_repository.idl failed

Usage: orbit-idl [options] file.idl ...

Generic options
  -dX                Debug level, from 0 to 4.  Default is 2.
  -Efeature          Enable feature, where feature can be one of:
      skeleton_impl  Generate a template implementation (destructive)
      inherited_ops  Disable output of inherited operations

Preprocessor options
  -Ddefine[=value]   Define value in preprocessor
  -Ipath             Add search path for include files

gmake: *** [interface_repository-common.c] Error 1
Exit 2

I get no better luck running the orbit-idl build from this tarball by hand on 
this or any other IDL file I can find, all of which compile happily with the 
orbit-idl I made with the previous version installed here.

The important part of the truss appears to be:

access("./interface_repository.idl", 4)         = 0
pipe()                                          = 3 [4]

write(2, "\n", 1)

Removing the #pragma line doesn't help.

This is on Solaris 2.6 through Solaris 8_alpha, all on a UltraSPARC 10.

Any hints anyone?

Thanks,
