That's good information. Generally, I've just built ICE for C++ and
Python by hand and install it into /opt/Ice-${version}.

Sorry, I know you've sent a few mails to the list, so I can't remember
if you've fully solved the display issue (I feel like you have). But
just for the record, given a flowgraph, you can call the
pc_<name>_<type> functions on any given block to retrieve the counter.
During runtime, this is obviously just a sampling, but there is also
the work_time_total PC that accumulates the amount of time the given
work function used during the run of the flowgraph. All this is
described in the manual page:
