[Rivet] installation problems

[Holger Schulz]

Hi,

I am currently trying to install the rivet/agile package on the DESY 
System which has access to /afs/cern.ch...

The following error occurs, when I try to build rivet against CERN's 
installation of HepMC:

/afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/external/HepMC/2.04.00/slc4_amd64_gcc34/lib/libHepMC.so: 
file not recognized: File format not recognized

I am trying to build on a SL4 machine with an AMD Opteron CPU.

If I use a local installation of HepMC to build against, the compiler 
does not complain. However, running rivetgun
 (e.g. with pythia 6.413 or pythia 6.418)results in Segmentation Faults, 
whenever HepMc is to be used.

Has anyone had similar experiences?

Cheers,
Holger
