[Rivet] Problems installing rivet

[Alex Schofield]

*Thanks for the replies.

I have attached the config.log from the bootstrap installation.

>From your suggestions I have run the commands*

bash-3.2$ export PYTHONPATH=/afs/
hep.man.ac.uk/u/alexschof/Programs/Rivet/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/:$PYTHONPATH
bash-3.2$ source rivetenv.sh
bash-3.2$ rivet -v
rivet requires the 'rivet' Python module
/usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.9' not found (required by
/afs/
cern.ch/sw/lcg/external/HepMC/2.06.03/x86_64-slc5-gcc43-opt/lib/libHepMC.so.4
)

*I receive the same error from python:*

Python 2.4.3 (#1, Jan 13 2011, 20:52:03)
[GCC 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-48)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import rivet
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/PIL/__init__.py", line 16, in ?

  File "/afs/
hep.man.ac.uk/u/alexschof/Programs/InstallFiles/Rivet-1.4.0/pyext/build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.4/rivet/rivetwrap.py",
line 5, in ?
ImportError: /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.9' not found
(required by /afs/
cern.ch/sw/lcg/external/HepMC/2.06.03/x86_64-slc5-gcc43-opt/lib/libHepMC.so.4
)

*, though lighthisto now imports correctly:*

>>> import lighthisto
>>>

*A google search suggested that the problem was due to an outdated version
of GLIBC, which I checked by

*bash-3.2$ rpm -q glibc
glibc-2.5-49.el5_5.7
glibc-2.5-49.el5_5.7

*Is this the cause of my problem? Also, could my older version of python be
causing some problems?

Thanks,
Alex
