I must be missing something. Is this command meant to overwrite the 
.idx file? I haven't found any "icase.sty" but there's an "icase.ist". 
I've tried this:

makeindex -s icase.ist -i main.idx -o main.idx

But makeindex seems to enter a loop (maybe an \endinput is missing) and 
the output is blank:

This is makeindex, version 2.14 [02-Oct-2002] (kpathsea + Thai support).
Scanning style file /Users/ycodet/Library/texmf/makeindex/icase.istdone 
(0 attributes redefined, 26 ignored).
Scanning input file main.idx...done (0 entries accepted, 0 rejected).
Scanning input file stdin...^C

Same result with this command:

makeindex -s icase.ist -i main.idx -o main.ind

which gives:

This is makeindex, version 2.14 [02-Oct-2002] (kpathsea + Thai support).
Scanning style file /Users/ycodet/Library/texmf/makeindex/icase.istdone 
(0 attributes redefined, 26 ignored).
Scanning input file main.idx....done (48 entries accepted, 0 rejected).
Scanning input file stdin...^C

The version of "icase.ist" I've used is this one:
