i can't see your picture, but i opened up Quartus II 9.1sp1 Web Edition on Linux and i see what you mean. i am guessing you must be using Web Edition for Linux?

http://www.altera.com/literature/po/ss-quartus_linuxwebbeta.pdf

it looks like EDA Simulation is not yet a supported flow in the beta. you can use ModelSim-AE without NativeLink (read the Quartus II Handbook ModelSim chapter to learn how to setup a simulation without NativeLink) or you can try and add the paths to ~/.altera.quartus/quartus2.ini

just above the section called [General 9.1] i have a section: 


EDA_TOOL_ENABLE_NATIVELINK_FOR_SYNPLIFY_NODE_LOCKED_LICENSE = off
EDA_TOOL_PATH_MODELSIM_ALTERA = /path/to/modelsim/ae
EDA_TOOL_USE_QUARTUS_EDA_PLUGIN_PATH_VARIABLE = on

try backing up your quartus2.ini then adding the above section to it.
