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

[Diego Sevilla Ruiz <dsevilla ditec um es>]

Hi, Jan:

	GIOP.idl is not IDL, but PIDL, so, it has special rules, and
normally comes with precompiled versions ready to compile or either a
special option in the IDL compiler to deal with PIDL. 

	Normally, the files generated from PIDL cannot be obtained
automatically, because they are different for every language (this is
why it is called Pseudo-IDL).

	So, your compilation shouldn't try to compile these IDL files.
Perhaps is some error in the building process. Are you trying to compile
ORBit2 itself or some other package with ORBit2?

	Best regards.
	diego
