I tried it on 2 Macs, both intel, one of which is only a month old iMac, so it is still squeaky 
clean. Both exhibit the same problem - I load custom profile from the menu when the 
program starts, click on next.., accepting defaults, it happily goes through all colors, and 
at the end it gets killed with EXC_BAD_ACCESS/KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE.

Is there anyone with a Mac, particularly an Intel one, who is willing to try? I am loading L-
Star-RGB.icc that comes with Spyder3Print, but one could presumably use this 
http://www.colormanagement.org/en/workingspaces.html (which is Karl Koch's website, 
who as far as I understand is the guy who defined and/or made original profiles for L-
Star).

As for the above response, it is not going to work under emulation - I think neither 
vmware nor parallels emulate video drivers with LUTs. I was going to try Boot Camp and do 
it natively in Windows. Just don't know if resulting ICC profile would give correct colors on 
the Mac.
