I have a VERY similar problem trying to get ORBit to compile under SGI
Irix 6.2 with the SGI C compiler.  The problem seems to be in the
following:

Making all in orb
gmake[3]: Entering directory
`/usr/people/gabe/grail/pub/gnome/ORBit/src/orb'
../../src/idl-compiler/orbit-idl --noskels
../../src/daemons/interface_repository/interface_repository.idl
Error: Empty file

** WARNING **: Parse of
../../src/daemons/interface_repository/interface_repository.idl failed
../../src/idl-compiler/orbit-idl --noskels
../../src/daemons/interface_repository/interface_repository.idl
Error: Empty file


I tried debugging this, but the problem seems to be inside of the
execution of the yacc (bison) grammer.  Tracing in that code is not
easy.  Anyone have any ideas or luck in tracing this down?
