[Rivet] AGILe

Hi,

Thus spake Sparsh Navin (Sparsh.Navin at cern.ch):

I thought you were using SL4, not SL5?

Oh well ... these dots might hide some interesting information ...

Anyhow. If I login to lxplus (which is SL4) and simply run

  ./rivet-bootstrap --dev-mode --no-install-rivet --install-agile
  source rivetenv.sh

then I can run "agile-runmc --list-gens" without any complaints about a
missing lhapdf library. And I can use agile-runmc to generate Pythia-6
events with lhapdf:

$ agile-runmc Pythia6:422 -P fpythia-atlas-mc09.params -P fpythia-CDF_2000_S4155203.params -P tevatron1800.params -n 100 -o output.hepmc

So I'm sorry, but I can't reproduce your error. Do you actually need
lhapdf?

Good luck,
