11.0 web edition and Linux: solution for those with 64-bit issues

For those who are having trouble with errors about "linux64" not being installed, there is a very simple fix.

Go to your Quartus install directory. For me it was ~/altera/11.0/quartus.

Execute the following command (you do not need to be root unless you installed as root) :

ln -s linux linux64

That's it. It seems that Altera did not really test the web edition install. The command just soft-links the linux directory to the linux64 directory, thus making Quartus happy.

Note that my install worked fine with 10.0sp1, but broke when I upgraded to 11.0. If you had trouble with earlier versions this won't help you.
