That sounds bizarre. I have 11.1sp1 installed on Centos 6.2, and a few other versions under Ubuntu. Write a short Tcl script for Modelsim that triggers this error, and I can see if I reproduce the error.
Cheers,

We're running the electronics lab spin of Fedora 14 in the student labs, Archlinux on my desktop. Stock install of Quartus 11 Full version on my desktop, 11sp1 Full in the labs with standard install of modelsim_ase in both cases.
Everything was installed and owned by root in the labs, no problems with Quartus. We haven't been using a custom tcl script. Modelsim is started either via the tools option in quartus with the following
quartus_sh -t /usr/altera/quartus/common/tcl/internal/nativelink/qnativesim.tcl --rtl_sim my_pwm_1 my_pwm_1
or as vsim from the command prompt.
In either case, if you are not the owner of the .../modelsim_ase/modelsim.ini file then the error message occurs.
Altera supports solution is to make everything world writable! Not a good idea for a student lab.
As far as creating projects and assuming the ownership of modelsim.ini is correct, then if launched from quartus modelsim creates it's project fine. With vsim one can create a project from within the tool no problem.
What is the ownership of the file on your setup?
