[Rivet] Need a guideline

Hi Izhar,

Your problem is that the compiler you are using (GCC 4.1) is not an LCG 
supported platform -- hence no FastJet build is found on AFS for the 
x86_64-slc5-gcc41-opt platform tag.

The way to fix this is to make sure that you have set up your shell 
environment to use a standard compiler -- most likely GCC 4.3 -- before 
running the bootstrap script. You can set this up by sourcing the 
appropriate GCC 4.3 installation setup script, e.g. 
/afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/external/gcc/4.3/x86_64-slc5-gcc43-opt/setup.sh

Cheers,
Andy
