[Rivet] Rivet/Professor in CMS

[Hendrik Hoeth]

Hi Albert,

first thing: In the future please write to the Rivet mailinglist rather
than to individual persons. Andy is on holiday right now, and I will be
gone from tonight until next Thursday. Your chances of getting an answer
are much, much better if you write to the mailing list.

About your problem: If I login to lxplus5 and run

cd /tmp/hoeth/
. /afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/contrib/gcc/4.3/x86_64-slc5-gcc43-opt/setup.sh
wget http://svn.hepforge.org/rivet/bootstrap/rivet-bootstrap
chmod +x rivet-bootstrap
./rivet-bootstrap --install-agile
. rivetenv.sh

I can install Rivet, run rivet2aida, everything is fine, the computer is
happy, I am happy. Sorry, I'm not able to reproduce your problem. I
guess the next step for you should be to check your environment
variables and see if there is anything you are missing or anything CMS
overwrites.

BTW: HepMC and fastjet for x86_64-slc5-gcc43-opt are in
/afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/external/HepMC/2.05.00/x86_64-slc5-gcc43-opt/
and /afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/external/fastjet/2.4.2/x86_64-slc5-gcc43-opt/
respectively. It's all there. Maybe you forgot to source the setup.sh
script for x86_64-slc5-gcc43-opt?

Cheers,

    Hendrik
