(Trying again with new Genser address!)

Hi again Gensers,

We noticed during the LPCC tutorial that there is a problem with the 
Genser installation of AGILe 1.3.0, which looks to me like the DESTDIR 
hasn't been used during installation, so path searching is broken when 
you relocate the binary. The easiest way to see this is via the 
agile-config script:

abuckley at lxplus248:~$ agile-config --datadir
/afs/.cern.ch/sw/lcg/external/MCGenerators/.work/GBUILD/external/MCGenerators_hepmc2.06.05/agile/1.3.0/share/AGILe

This should instead return something like

/afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/external/MCGenerators_hepmc2.06.05/agile/1.3.0/share/AGILe

and the fact that it doesn't means that the use of the standard params 
files (as specified with e.g. -P fpythia-minbias.params) doesn't work. 
By comparison, for Rivet the correct thing appears to be being done for 
the binary relocation:

abuckley at lxplus248:~$ rivet-config  --datadir
/afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/external/MCGenerators_hepmc2.06.05/rivet/1.6.0/x86_64-slc5-gcc43-opt/share/Rivet

Can the AGILe installation be fixed to use the same install scheme as 
Rivet, please?

Thanks again,
Andy
