[Rivet] Problem with installation

[Dmitry Popov]

  Hello James,

  Thank you very much for the fast response! This "Can't find Boost include
dir boost-1_38/boost to symlink" error appears both on SL4 and on SLC5:

> cat /etc/redhat-release
Scientific Linux SL release 4.5 (Beryllium)
> lsb_release -rs
4.5

> cat /etc/redhat-release
Scientific Linux CERN SLC release 5.4 (Boron)
> lsb_release -rs
5.4

  Cheers,
  Dmitry

| Hi Dimitry,
| 
| can you tell us what is the contents of the file /etc/redhat-release
| on your system, and what the command lsb_release -rs returns, too?
