The current hg tip and the 1.0b3 release work with IPython 0.12.

Just add 'line_profiler' to your c.TerminalIPythonApp.extensions list. You don't 
need to make a separate line_profiler_ext.py file anymore. E.g., from my 
~/.ipython/profile_default/ipython_config.py file:

# A list of dotted module names of IPython extensions to load.
c.TerminalIPythonApp.extensions = [
     'kernmagic',
     'line_profiler',
     'see_ext',
]
