Did you build FastJet with the --enable-shared option? Looks to me like
FastJet has been installed with static libraries only. The rivet
bootstrapping script should do this properly.

Again, the separation between Rivet and AGILe is important: Rivet at its
core is the analysis system and can be used without *any* generators
built-in. However, for Phojet there is no standard program that will run
and output event data to a HepMC ASCII stream: you will have to make
this yourself. Once you've done so, if you send me the code I will use
it as a template for adding to AGILe (not Rivet) as a standard generator
option.
