[Rivet] problems with RivetGun/Alpgen

[renkel at physics.smu.edu]

Hi Andy,

I am exporting AGILE_GEN_PATH. But the problem is that the system looks for
/local/lib/libAGILeAlpGen.so, and I have just libAGILeAlpGenFPythia.so 
and libAGILeAlpGenFHerwig.so. If I try to naively rename one of these 
files, AGILE finds the generator, but crashes at execution. Do I need 
to specify something when installing AGILe to have this shared library 
in please? Or can I tell Alpgen to use the files I have?

Thank you!

Peter.
