CORBA is far from trivial. I presume you're already a proficient
programmer (or something like that).
I've never tried doing CORBA in C, but I've done it in Python and
Java. (java is a PITA -- it's type system is way to restrictive and
doesn't fit well) For getting an initial handle on CORBA and ORBit, I
recommend leaving the low-level details of C behind. Install the
'python-orbit' package to get python bindings to it. It comes with an
sample "echo" client/server implementation that works out-of-the-box.
It's only about 50 LOC total, if that. You could also use 'ldd' on
it's binaries to figure out what to link in to your C program.
