[Rivet] failed to install rivet

[lukas vanelderen]

Hi

thanks for the quick response

using ./configure --with-boost-incpath=/home/lukas/Software/boost_1_39_0
in stead of ./configure
--with-boost-incpath=/home/lukas/Software/boost_1_39_0/boost
worked, thanks

the reason why i added the '/boost' was because the configure script asks
for
'path to directory containing Boost
headers

                          [BOOSTPATH/include]'
which is may be not completely correct

thanks again

Lukas
