OK. I have some questions.

  - Do you use Ninf-G 2.4.0 release? or Ninf-G 4.0.0b1?

    (IDL compilation is not different between Ninf-G 2.4.0 and
     Ninf-G 4.0.0b1. Do you require to use WS-GRAM Job invocation?
     If not, Ninf-G 4.0.0b1 is beta version and Ninf-G 2.4.0 is
     stable version. Thus, using Ninf-G 2.4.0 is better choice.
     If WS-GRAM Job invocation is required,
     <SERVER> invoke_server GT4py </SERVER> should be set in the client
     configuration file. Other operation is the same as Ninf-G 2.4.0.)

     Ninf-G 2.4.0 can compile with GT 4.0. In this case,
     pre-WS GRAM (on GT4.0) should be setup.

     And more, GT 4.0 do not install pre-WS MDS as default.
     In this case Ninf-G configure with --without-mds option
     helps you.)

  - Did you try sample program included in the Ninf-G distribution?
    like test/samples/pi, test/samples/add, and was it worked?

    (Online tutorial is available on the web, 
     ( http://ninf.apgrid.org/documents/ng2-tutorial/tutorial.html )
     or in the Ninf-G 2.4.0 distribution "doc/tutorial/tutorial.html".
     It explains how client and server was compiled.
     You can check the IDL compilation by this document.)

  - Did you create worker.idl? It seems no worker.idl in the Ninf-G
    distribution. Would you show us worker.idl and how it compiled?

This error looks like, the "-d" option is supplied to ng_gen command.
-d option is for debug and not effective for ordinary use.

Did you pass this option to ng_gen?
