Please send any questions you have about to ACE/TAO/CIAO to the
ACE/TAO/CIAO users group and not to me directly.

To ensure that we have proper version/platform/compiler information,
please make sure you fill out the appropriate problem report form
(PRF), which is in

$CIAO_ROOT/PROBLEM-REPORT-FORM

or in

$CIAO_ROOT/BUG-REPORT-FORM

in older versions of ACE+TAO+CIAO.  Make sure to include this
information
when asking any questions about ACE+TAO+CIAO since otherwise we have to
"guess" what version/platform/compiler/options you've using, which is
very error-prone and slows down our responsiveness.  If you don't use
the PRF, therefore, it is less likely that someone from the core
ACE+TAO developer team will be able to answer your question.
Naturally, we encourage and appreciate other members of the ACE+TAO+CIAO
user community who can respond to questions that they have the answers
to.

It seems that you have compiled the project already. When you import the
IDL files to CoSMIC/PICML, you shouldn't import the generated IDL files.
Clean the project first (that will remove generated files) then import
IDL to CoSMIC/PICML as the tutorial mentions.

Follow my instructions above.

The PROBLEM-REPORT-FORM would be very helpful. Also, what version of
CoSMIC do you have?

Thanks,
