The chirp package is now available in the Ubuntu-hams PPA for all Ubuntu series except Karmic, which is still building.
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-hams/+archive/ppa/
Information about how to subscribe to this PPA is included at the link.
The Ubuntu-Hams PPA includes a lot of other ham software which the ubuntu-hams team backports from the latest release to older Ubuntu Series. These include chirp, d-rats, fldigi, cqrlog, hamlib, and more.
If you're using Ubuntu, this PPA is a good source of the latest package updates.

Also, if you're using Ubuntu in the shack, you might be interested in joining Ubuntu-hams:

The IRC channel we hang out in is a good place to get help.

Thanks, I'll uninstall and wait on the new package. Let me know when it's ready and I'll do a test install if you'd like outside confirmation.

OK, I've made some progress in troubleshooting this. The package in the PPA is just plain broken, and I suggest you install from the tarball until I can fix it, and don't use the PPA. In fact, I'm going to delete the broken package from the PPA.
The package installs the modules to the wrong directory, putting them in /usr/share instead of in /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages
So I understand the problem, but I can't fix the packaging right away because I'm traveling for the rest of today. I can probably fix it by Monday.
The reason this didn't fail on the machine I'm on now is that the files in the right location were left over from a previous release which I had installed manually and forgotten was even installed (i.e. I thought this was a clean machine). I'm sorry for the problems caused by the bad package, but thanks for the help in tracking this down.

Can you do the following for me?
start python and type the next two lines into the python interpreter and paste the results here:

You can email me directly if you want to take this off-list.
