[Rivet] Rivet/AGILe segfault - inserted cout, now it works

[Lars Sonnenschein]

Hello all
the seg fault I got at CERN on the lxbuild cluster, when trying to run 
Pythia8 (from the default CERN  genser installation).
Fortran Herwig and Pythia work nicely.

On my laptop it looks like AGIle is always trying to connect to the CERN 
afs path to get the available generators for rivetgun (e.g. Alpgen... and 
Charybdis..., though Pythia8 does not show up, despite the fact, that I 
have specified PYTHIA8PATH and PYTHIA8DATA).

I try now the mkGenserArea script ...
