Are you setting and exporting the AGILE_GEN_PATH variable? If you run
agile-runmc like so

agile-runmc --list-gens -lTRACE

you will get an enormous amount of output documenting all the paths and
permutations that the library loader searches through to try and find
each generator version... that will help you to debug whether you have
the correct structure in which to find the AlpGen, PYTHIA, HERWIG, etc.
libraries: the trick is to make it look as much as possible like the
Genser area on AFS (although it is possible to leave out the
platform/architecture tags directories)

Cheers,
Andy
