Re: orbit-idl-2 ... Anyone?

["c938218 worldonline dk" <c938218 worldonline dk>]

 Hi all,
 
  I'm still strugling with this problem. I have as of yet not been able
 to compile gnome 2.0 (head) via vicius-build-scripts or garnome. It
 constantly bombs out as described in the attachment.
 
 Please, I've tried to get started to help developing gnome for months
 now, but I have no working experience with CORBA so this is too big a
 mouthfull for me - any help will be most appreciated!
 
   regards, Jan...
