[Rivet] problem with yaml

[Andy Buckley]

You have a mix of SLC4 and SLC5 paths in your setup. That's the sort of 
thing that the LCG GCC setup script that Ben pointed at is meant to sort 
out, but I think you will also need to source a similar setup script for 
the SLC5 Python build, as the "slc4_" is appearing in Python paths in 
the error message below.
