I just saw, that the LCG-tag is created by the bootstrap-script using 
'uname -m' which returns 'i686'. So I guess
that having a 64 bit processor installed doesn't neccessarily mean that 
your system architecture is 64 bit , too.

I am starting from scratch with the latest version of rivet-bootstrap now.

thanks a lot,
Holger
