Problems compiling ORBit

["Mullen, Patrick" <Patrick Mullen GSC GTE Com>]

Hello!

I'm trying to compile a program which requires gnome-libs.  
gnome-libs needs ORBit.  I'm having problems compiling ORBit.

The problem seems to be wchar_t is not defined.  The header
of libIDL/IDL.h mentions wide character support may need to
be included.  I searched /usr/include, and found that 
curses.h and ncurses.h has definitions for wchar_t, so although
I did not think those were desired files I included them.  The
situation did not change.  Then I added my own definition
for wchar_t by adding the typedef from *curses.h in IDL.h, but
I got an error saying the definition conflicts with an earlier
definition provided from within the ORBit source tree.

Maybe I'm misinterpreting the error.  The relevant part of
the compile process is located at the end of this message.


Thanks for the help!
