This error message is a result of your system configuration. The Orbacus
IDL-to-C++ translator, "idl", actually uses a CORBA server during the
processing of IDL files. Therefore, it requires that the host machine it
is run on be configured such that legitimate network address information
can be retrieved.

The particular error message you are seeing is the result of the error
code "EAI_NONAME" being returned from a call to "getaddrinfo(...)".
You can check the man pages on your OS for more information on this function.

This error is usually the result of a simple problem. Does your machine have 
a proper entry in its "/etc/hosts" file? Perhaps you are using DHCP and/or 
DNS and your address information is unavailable for some reason? I would
consult the local network configuration expert in your team to help
resolve this.

Cheers,
Dave
