Right, this is the problem: PYTHONPATH isn't defined, so the setenv that
uses $PYTHONPATH on the right hand side of the assignment fails... and
it still isn't set afterwards. This would just work silently in *sh shells.

So try this instead:

setenv PYTHONPATH
/afs/cern.ch/user/s/ssen/scratch0/Rivetlocal/local/lib64/python2.4/site-packages

(i.e. no $PYTHONPATH on the RHS). Hopefully this will work. I'll put a
fix into the bootstrap script's writing of the rivetenv.csh file, if
this works for you.
