problems with orbit-idl-2

[Tobias Hunger <hunger rhrk uni-kl de>]

Hi!



Sorry, I posted this before with a wrong email address set, so it got
stuck at the moderator's desk... Sorry for the inconvinience this might
have caused.



I just tried to run Orbit over some IDL files. I installed the orbit2
debs to do so. Here is the output of
  dpkg -l | grep orbit
ii  liborbit2     2.3.105-2 Libraries for ORBit2 - a CORBA ORB
ii  liborbit2-dev 2.3.105-2 Dev libraries for ORBit ...
ii  orbit2        2.3.105-2 A CORBA ORB (used with Gnome)

That should be a fairly recent version or am I wrong there?

Anyway: I cannot get orbit-idl-2 to compile any of the IDL files.

Here is what I try:
> orbit-idl-2 -I .. Graphic.idl
orbit-idl 2.3.105 compiling
 small mode, show preprocessor errors, passes: stubs skels common
headers skel_impl imodule

Any ideas on how I can handle this? I tried 10 diffrent files, none got
compiled by orbit-idl-2, *eight* of them caused a segfault like the one
given above! All files are valid IDL and work well with TAO and omniorb.

Do you want the IDL-files?
