This specific error is related to a larger change in the way admin definitions are done, see:
http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/BackwardsIncompatibleChanges#Movedfilter_interfacefromthemodeldefinition Ideally you'd want to get a version of this app from its makers that has been migrated to Django 1.0, but from a brief look at http://surftrackr.net/blog/index/ they call their March 26, 2008 release "probably final" so it sounds like they are no longer maintaining it. The "About" page lists an email address for the owner, though, so you could try that and see if there are any plans to make it compatible with 1.0. Django 0.96.3 is still available from the download page, so you could try installing this app on that level. I'd really hesitate to do any development of new code on that old level, though.
