Thank you Johannes.  Using your apt-get instructions fixed my problem.

It seems that there was some sort of problem with the upgrade performed by
the Synaptic package manager, and I could not tell that anything was
wrong.  Using apt-get caused all the post-install configurations to take
place, and now everything works as it should.  The lesson I take from this
is not to rely on Synaptic.

This is a follow-up to my recent post.  In that post, I reported the error
ImportError: No module named petsc4py.PETSc
when attempting to run demo_poisson.py.

Looking through a transcript of what I was doing, I realized that I had
successfully run one of the tutorial scripts: d1_p2D.py earlier in the
afternoon and it ran successfully.  But then I upgraded my system using
synaptic and I noticed that I am now running fenics 1:1.3.0.2.  After that
upgrade d1_p2D.py doesn't work.  In fact, the single command "from dolfin
import *" fails with the message:

from dolfin import *

     _mod = imp.load_module('_la', fp, pathname, description)

Is it possible that something is wrong with the upgrade?

Yes. This works fine for me in a clean Ubuntu 13.04 machine. Make sure
you upgrade all packages by running:

   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Let us know if that doesn't resolve your problem.

BTW, Ubuntu 13.04 is no longer supported by Ubuntu, so you should
consider upgrading to 13.10.

Johannes
