Thank you very much for your prompt reply! Those two links did indeed fix there particular problem I was running into. I am using a desktop 64 bit Ubuntu 12.04 (dual boot along with Windows 7).

Are you running the 32-bit or 64-bit version, desktop or server?
I just tried the 64-bit desktop version of Ubuntu 12.04 and mod9.11 works fine (it gives a warning about 'import site' but this is normal, as discussed in the FAQ). What (exactly) does it do on your system? "python" didn't work for me, since the Ubuntu folks seem to have moved things around since Ubuntu 10; now there is no /usr/lib64/ directory (which is where Modeller puts its Python extensions). I fixed this pretty easily by symlinking the extensions into /usr/lib/ with
sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/python2.7/dist-packages/modeller \ /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/
sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/python2.7/dist-packages/_modeller.so \ /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/
If this is your experience also, and those links fix things for you, let me know and I'll update the release notes accordingly.
On the 32-bit desktop version of Ubuntu 12.04, everything works fine for me.
