[Rivet] installation problems (It works!)

[James Monk]

I re-installed rivet at CERN using the bootstrap.  It did not find  
either of Herwig++ or Pythia8 but built FHerwig and FPythia.  FPythia  
seg faults like you say, but FHerwig only spews out the following  
message repeatedly:

	IO_HERWIG::translate_herwig_to_pdg_id HERWIG particle 205 translates  
to zero.

which I guess is not actually a problem.  The Pythia seg fault happens  
somewhere in the HepMC_IO hepevt wrapper.  I see that Genser installed  
the new version of HepMC (2.03.09) just last week.  Oh joy.
