While compiling with ICC could possible give a performance boost to the final binary, it does have quite a few limitations:

1) you have to buy it (Though I am sure Ono would love you to stuff his stocking with it for Christmas).

2) Limited support for glibc (7.0 supports 2.2.4 or 2.2.5 only).

3) Official support for Intel Pentium/Xeon or Intel Itanium processors only (no support for cross platform development).[/i][/b]

I mean only for different platforms (simply few variants like: i686, pentium4 etc O2, O3...) and for GCC too.

As for ICC:

One of LuxRender developers said that ICC give 25% speedup

it is free ICC, if I am not mistaken

okay, feeling stupid here.

I cannot get this to work with either 64 bit Fedora 8 Test 3 or Ubuntu 7.10 64 bit. I open a terminal and type indigo_console (file) and it returns

command not found

Can anyone help me out here?

indigo_console is not defined in your $PATH

Try typing
./indigo_console scene.igs
instead

First make it executalble and the yes, like zsouthboy says always type ./ before any executble

Anyone having issues with resuming?

The 32 bit build uses sse2, hence the illegal instruction Paulo Gomes.

can't get scenes working which uses nk-data. (always get a "Failed to open file 'nkdata/blabla.nk' for reading"-error)

Manitwo:
you just have to make sure the path to the nk data file in the .igs is correct - which means it needs to use forwards slashes and have the correct case.

Hello,

I rendered some scene with the 64bit build and I am wondering if there is some issue. As you can see, there are pretty dark shadows (100% black) which shouldn't be there or at least not *that* dark (soft shadows?).

,

I tried different settings (MLT/bidirectional/hybrid) with some indigo ground plane on 0,0.

Can anybody tell me how to resolve this?

Thank you very much and good work!
