Hi Andy, Terrance,

Looks like I didn't actually reply to Terrance, just to the Rivet list. 
Terrance, can you tell us what setup script you are using as Andy 
suggests? If you are using the code from Svn and want a quick workaround 
you can still try installing a new Swig as I did.

In my case, I am building from Svn. Yesterday the download tarball 
appeared to be missing a file spiresbib.py that I guess you have since 
added, but I still get another error when making the PDF manual from the 
tarball:
  No rule to make target `refs.bib', needed by `rivet-manual.pdf'

Cheers,
Ben
