[Rivet] installation problems (partially solved?)

[James Monk]

Hi Holger,

I think your AGILe library may actually be built 32 bit, too  
(otherwise how could the 32 bit generator libs be loaded?).  If that's  
true, have you tried configuring with something like this:

./configure --prefix=/afs/ifh.de/user/h/hschulz/Software --enable- 
shared --disable-root --with-boost-incpath=/afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/ 
external/Boost/1.34.1/slc4_ia32_gcc34/include/boost-1_34_1/boost -- 
with-hepmc-incpath=/afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/external/HepMC/2.04.00/ 
slc4_ia32_gcc34/include/HepMC --with-hepmc-libpath=/afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/ 
external/HepMC/2.04.00/slc4_ia32_gcc34/lib

Hope that works!

James
