Summary:
Indirect Lighting Option is occasionally not available.
Detailed description
For some odd reason about half the time I have the option to use indirect lighting, the other time I can't. It's rather variable and for some reason it appears to be random. I am running the newest version of Blender from the official Blender website. The first scene attached all the sudden allowed me to use indirect lighting. The other plain cube scene doesn't show it.

  • I checked your files and found no problem with the No-indirect-lightinh-option.blend (Blender 2.55 on OSX 10.6.4)
    Are you aware, you have to activate the approximate button in the world-gather panel first?

  • Indirect Lighting only works with Approximate Gather Method.

  • BTW, in Trunk it shows the panel everytime, I added an info, no hiding of the panel any more.

    Hey but I know of a bug that I discovered just now.
    Make a material, set it volumetric, then set the light cache to 0. Blender crashes.

  • Crash confirmed, and fixed by not allowing a zero sized voxel grid in UI :)
