This is a known issue under the osgeo4w project (the way qgis windows binaries are built). We have discussed starting a parrallel 64bit compilation and could always use more help, since we need to recompile and find 64 bit binaries for all the dependencies. If you're interested please join the osgeo4w mailing list.
In the mean time, you can try to compile yourself or use another OS that supports 64bit more easily (Linux or Mac). Thanks, Alex On 02/02/2012 01:28 AM, Ian kirk-ellis wrote: > 1.
