I'm surprised by that - the bootstrap worked for me on lxplus when I
tried it a few days ago. We'll make sure it works before releasing a new
version.

I'm going to be on holiday for the next week, but hopefully some other
people at the rivet at projects.hepforge.org address will be able to help
out. In particular, since Sherpa is a bit of a special generator, you
may need a bit of help with the extra PATH, RESULTS_DIRECTORY and
SHERPA_CPP_PATH parameters needed to get it to store integration results
and load config files/process libraries properly. Once you get used to
that it, it's fine (just the same as running Sherpa natively, really)

Best wishes,
Andy
