FWIW I've had icc working on my Debian sid since early Feb, although I have
only tested building the ladspa sources with it (ran OK). I don't think it
can link to libstdc++ which limits it's usefulness to me.
IIRC the procedure involved changing the rpm's to cpio archives, unpacking
them then changing the iccvars.sh script (the IA32ROOT variable). I read
somewhere this procedure also works on current Slackware.
Cheers,
Daniel.
