I also met this problem.

I am using modelsim in a Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Lucid Lynx.

Also i am compiling verilog files (and simulating them) in command line.

I fixed it using the following command (after all necessary compilations):

vsim -c -t 1ns -quiet -L $(MEGAFUNCTIONS) work.RomTests -do "run 1000000 1ns; quit"

where MEGAFUNCTIONS should be your path to "altera_mf", which includes all megafunctions from altera:

[installation path]/altera10.0/modelsim_ae/altera/verilog/altera_mf
