[Qgis-developer] qt4 on 64bit

[Tyler Mitchell]

On a similar note, now when I request GRASS support --with-grass=/my/path - QGIS configure fails because it looks for /my/path/lib64 - but grass created its folder /my/path/lib :)

I don't know how you handle these things in the make process, but for now I'll just symlink it :)

Thanks all,
Tyler
