it seems to me you don't link with libTAO.so (the main lib). Or if=20
not, something strange happens and you try to use some non-existent=20
methods... Perhaps you might try the tao-users mailing list (check=20
the main site of ACE/TAO (http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/TAO.html)=20
for details.

The static libs were unfortunately left out because of their huge=20
size. Building the ORB services statically would amount to a package=20
of about 400MBs at least! As such I decided that they should be left=20
out. It's not really difficult to build your own packages of static=20
libs if you really need them, I would suggest looking at debian/rules=20
as a pointer.
