Hi Albert,

there is a very basic implementation in AGILe already.
I think it should be available in the latest release but
definitely in the SVN HEAD version of AGILe.

You still need the steer_XY files to run the generator
as it is now and I think there was a small problem with
compiling Cascade that I had to overcome since we
need shared libraries in AGILe.

An example command-line for AGILe/Rivet with Cascade
would be

    agile-runmc CascadePythia6:421:2.0.1 <
    ~/generators/cascade-2.0.1/share/steer_pp -n 100000 -o hepmc.fifo &
    rivet hepmc.fifo -a CDF_2001_S4751469 -H cdf_2001_cascacde_pp.aida

It is also important for the current implementation that
cascade is installed under $AGILE_GEN_PATH/cascade-X.Y.Z

For the details you can have a look in agile/src/Core/Loader.cc

Hope that helps,

Holger
