Summary The IDL compiler fails with "idl: no IDL configuration file" error Article Number 15339 Environment Orbix 6.3 All Supported Operating Systems Question/Problem Description The IDL compiler fails with "idl: no IDL configuration file" errorProblems running IDL compiler Clarifying Information Error Message Defect/Enhancement Number Cause The IDL compiler fails with the 'idl: no IDL configuration file!' error when the Orbix environment is not set correctly or as a result of running it on a drive or partition different to the Orbix installation drive. To resolve this ensure that your environment is set correctly, in particular that $IT_PRODUCT_DIR is set as an environment variable and not as a as a local variable. Resolution To run the idl compiler you need to have a couple of environment variables set properly as follows on all platforms: IT_PRODUCT_DIR - set to point to your Orbix installationIT_IDL_CONFIG_FILE - set to point to the configuration file for the IDL compiler $IT_PRODUCT_DIR\\asp\\6.x\\etc\\idl.cfg On Solaris only:LD_LIBRARY_PATH - set to $IT_PRODUCT_DIR/shlib:$IT_PRODUCT_DIR/shlib/default:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH It is generally easier to have a configuration domain set up with the Orbix 6.x itconfigure tool so that you can just source the generated environment script to set up your environment properly. But you can also use the idl compiler having set the above variables.
