Build documentation for 64bit Ubuntu

Description

Greetings.. I am attempting to build virtualbox from the SVN repository, and have hit some issues.

From the following webpage:

http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux%20build%20instructions

The instructions for creating the links for the required libraries on Ubuntu 7.10 64bit doesn't specify which directory the links should be made in.

Should this be /usr/lib32 ?

Configure also looks for qt4 libraries, which arn't specified in the requirements.

apt-get install libqt4-dev

In addition.. after following the instuctions, (./configure, kmk) I get the following errors:

kBuild: Linking VBoxClient /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/bin/../lib/libXext.so when searching for -lXext /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/bin/../lib/libXext.a when searching for -lXext /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libXext.so when searching for -lXext /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libXext.a when searching for -lXext /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXext

See attached files for configure and build logs..

A bug tracker isn't meant to report build issues. There is a developer's mailinglist for such purposes: http://www.virtualbox.org/mailman/listinfo/vbox-dev
