Problems you encountered with the pbrt build/installation process?
I installed pbrt on Mac OS X, running on MacBook Pro (Intel). The process was pretty easy. In addition to OpenExr, I had to install libtiff (using Fink). After that everything compiled and installed smoothly.
How did you speed up the render-view results-render again process?
I used lower resolution (300x300) and Sampler values (1) for quick turn-around during testing.
