The blank render is one of a few bad results of newer g++ versions 
changing the fast-math flag behavior. While running the configure script 
add the additional flag mentioned below:

"Those using g++ compiler version 13 or later must add the compiler flag 
-fno-finite-math-only, if using the flag -ffast-math."
