Excellent, thanks.

Yeah, this is a real pain on lxplus... the default system compiler isn't
compatible with any of the LCG libraries! I have those gcc43 setup
sourcing lines in my .bashrc (.cshrc for you) file because I always
forget to override the default, and there's no reason I would ever use
the system compiler. I'll add something to the wiki page about that, and
put some "undefined variable protection" into the code that generates
rivetenv.csh: thanks for the report.
