I think ORBit is configured to only listen on its proprietary Unix
domain socket protocol by default, not TCP, so omniORB doesn't know
how to talk to it. You should either tell ORBit to listen on TCP
(Google for how), or use omniORB's naming service, which listens on
TCP by default.

Alternatively, you don't particularly need to use a naming service if
you don't want to. You can modify the example to output an IOR string
for the object reference rather than trying to register it in the
naming service. Print the result of orb.object_to_string(adderObjref)
rather than the naming service stuff.

The example you are looking at was given as a tutorial with me
speaking, so it's a bit light on details of what's going on. You might
find the introduction in the omniORBpy manual more useful:

  http://omniorb.sourceforge.net/omnipy3/omniORBpy/omniORBpy002.html

or chapter 2 in the PDF version:
