To my knowledge, the version of RPC running on Linux uses rpcgen as the
RPC stub generator.

The last time I used an idl compiler it was for OSF/DCE.

Presumably MIDL is Microsoft-IDL, and thus you won't find in on Linux.
It may not be even remotely compatible with OSF/DCE's idl compiler,
and probably won't be compatible with rpcgen.

Read the manpage of rpcgen.

DISCLAIMER: last time I did RPC programming was in 1996, so my knowledge
may date a bit.
