I am afraid.

Well to begin with could anybody who has this icc thing (preferably the
latest version) post the compilation errors u are talking about. Let's
continue this discussion with some specific things in hands. So far there
were a lot of "maybe"s and "as far as i remember"s. Could u, guys, pls., be
more specific so that i could address the real issues and not just your
fears? ;)

Thanks,
Vlad
