Array handling is broken in CVS. I am aware of it but I haven't got time 
to fix it. It should be relatively easy actually. It would just take a 
few hours spent understanding how CORBA IDL array definitions map into C 
and C++ and then connect the dots between the C mapping to define the 
C++. If you feel like submitting a patch, feel free to create a bug and 
attach the patches there.

If you just want to ignore the problem, you can do make -k to ignore the 
errors and then make install should work.
