[omniORB] omniORBpy-2.7 AttributeError

[W T Meyer]

I'm trying to install omniORBpy-2.7 on a new system running
Scientific Linux 3.0.7 on a Dell computr with an Intel
processor. I've already installed omniORB-4.07, and the echo example
works. After extracting omniORBpy-2.7 and running the configure
script, running 'make' works fine until it enters the COS directory,
where it fails. Any help is appreciated.

Here is the tail of the output:

You have somehow picked up the python back-end from omniORBpy 3.0, and
it's running against the omniidl from omniORB 4.0.7. The two don't work
together. Make sure you're using consistent versions of omniORB and
omniORBpy and it should be fine.

Cheers,

Duncan.

I tried completely removing both the omniORBpy-3.0 and omniORB-4.1
directory trees, then rebuilding omniORB-4.0.7 and omniORBpy-2.7 from
the tar file. The installation for omniORB-4.0.7 went fine, and the
echo examples work, but I still get the AttributeError message when I
try to make the omniORBpy files. There is something still pointing
to the 3.0 installation, what is it?

Would it be a good idea to add an 'uninstall' option to the Makefile?

You'll have a file called python.py installed somewhere, which contains
the omniidl python back-end. If you run omniidl -v -bpython foo.idl, it
will tell you where it's picking the python back-end up from.

Yes, but the makefiles are hairy and complex, and it's not trivial to
add an uninstall. If you want to produce a patch, I'll happily accept
it.
