[Insight-users] Configure ITK for 64-bit Linux

[Sara Rolfe]

I've looked into this further and have found that the symlink is not a  
possible solution since programs run on this machine use both 32-bit  
and 64-bit versions of the libraries.

So I need to modify the make file so that the linker checks for /usr/ 
lib64.

I found a cmake patch that should do this, but am just learning cmake,  
and am not sure if/how to apply this.  If anyone has tried something  
similar, could you please let me know?

Thanks,
Sara
