Hi Flavia,

I'm not sure if you got this reply from Holger, since he only sent it to
the Rivet list:

You can also specify the exact list of directories that Rivet searches
for analysis plugin libraries by using the RIVET_ANALYSIS_PATH variable.

Flavia, apologies that the wiki documentation for Rivet is out of
date... this may have led to some confusion. Fixing it is on my TODO list!
