[Rivet] installing Rivet1.1.3 - Problem with gsl

[Andy Buckley]

Hi Paolo,

Sorry about the delay: I meant to look into this and got side-tracked. 
We assume in the bootstrap script that the GSL and its headers are 
installed in a system-wide location and so no special flag needs to be 
passed to the Rivet build system.

I just had a look at the configure script in Rivet, and I think there is 
a bug in the GSL detection which I think means that the results from 
running gsl-config don't get propagated correctly through the build. In 
most cases this isn't a problem because the GSL is already found in a 
standard place, but I'll have to fix it for you.

Sorry for the inconvenience: in the meantime I suggest building Rivet by 
hand from the point where the bootstrap fails: that way you can pass the 
GSL location explicitly to the configure script.

Best wishes,
Andy
