I'm not a Linux Guru, after downloading and untaring the Albatross3d beta file I fire it up and I get this warning popup that says
"The setting of the environement variable ALBATROSSED_DIR is not correct."
I've skimmed through the pdf manual for a reference and in the modeler.rc changed after making a back up file.

logFile s= /home/dave/albatross/modeler.log
# logFile s= C:\data\Perso\3D\ppgui\modeler\log

and

darktreeRepository s= /home/dave/albatross
(don't think I really needed to but wtf)


Linux doesn't recognize exe files and these were in the rc file too, will they have to change?

mnuToxicRenderCmd s= C:\bin\2D-3D\toxic\bin\toxic.exe %s
mnuYafrayRenderCmd s= C:\bin\2D-3D\YafRay\yafray.exe %s
mnuVirtualLightRenderCmd s= C:\bin\2D-3D\virtualLight\Bin\Vlight.exe %s -L -f
mnuSunflowRenderCmd s= c:\bin\2D-3D\Sunflow\sunflow.bat %s
mnuPovRenderCmd s= c:\bin\2D-3D\pov-3.6\bin\pvengine.exe /RENDER %s
mnuRendermanRenderCmd s= "C:\bin\2D-3D\3DeLight\3Delight\bin\renderdl.exe" -beeps -progress %s
currentRenderingTool s= ppr

You need to set up what is called an environment variable.
To do so definitevely depend on your system.
But to test it, you open a shell console, like bash.
there go to the directory where you installed albatross3d.
type pwd
this will give you the full pass to the current directory.
Then type
export ALBATROSS3D_DIR=full_path_to_a3d_dir_given_by_pwd_command
Then, in the same shel, you can launch A3D by typing:
albatross3d

Tell me if it is working for you,

Hey Pierre, I tried this without success.
I'm using Ubuntu, Hardy Heron and the terminal displays $ at the command prompt, I know sometimes the shell environment matters.
