I think the problem is due to the fact that we made the getfem++ archive with a
non working icare.cc (someone worked on the files at the corresponding period).
Could you please try to download the icare's files from the gna repository:

http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/getfem/trunk/getfem%2B%2B/contrib/icare/

and see if it better works ?

Sincerly,

Yves.
