There are two small bugs in this program:

 1) The interpolator is changing the transform in the Transform node,
    but your geometry is not a child of the Transform node and is not
    affected by the change.  Specifically:

      root->addChild(myShape);

    Should be:

      mytrans->addChild(myShape);

 2) The interpolator output is routed to an output port on the Transform
    node instead of an input port.  Specifically:

      SoDB::createRoute(myOriInter,"value_changed",mytrans,"rotation_changed");

    should be:

      SoDB::createRoute(myOriInter,"value_changed",mytrans,"set_rotation");

Other than that it seems to work.
