Did you add the path to the boost library to the linker path (LD_PATH or 
whatever it's caled)?

IRC there are also some issues with icpc regarding the header files & 
runtime libraries it is compatible with.

I guess you did remember to "source" the proper script file to set the 
icpc environment stuff, so I won't mention that. (Uh, I just did - sorry 
;-))


BTW, I'd like to ask two favors of you:

- Can you please take notes of all build problems you encounter, and 
possibly how you solved them (either yourself or with the aid of 
others)? That would help us improve the INSTALL docs.

- Once you get it to compile, can you please run some extensive testing 
with photons scenes (for example the "balcony" and "optics" advanced 
sample scenes)? On my Linux system I still get some very obscure 
sporadic segfaults with icpc-compiled POV-Ray when rendering photons scenes.
