[Rivet] problem with yaml

[Robert King]

p.s. I should possibly add that I'm trying to compile this in SL5.
The option '--disable-pyext' was added to stop the python extension failing
at the ./configure stage. This gives the error:
checking if /afs/
cern.ch/sw/lcg/external/swig/1.3.40/x86_64-slc5-gcc43-opt/bin/swig is
compatible with the /afs/
cern.ch/sw/lcg/contrib/gcc/4.3.2/x86_64-slc5-gcc34-opt/bin/g++ compiler...
no
configure: error: Can't build Python extension since /afs/
cern.ch/sw/lcg/external/swig/1.3.40/x86_64-slc5-gcc43-opt/bin/swig is not
compatible with /afs/
cern.ch/sw/lcg/contrib/gcc/4.3.2/x86_64-slc5-gcc34-opt/bin/g++. Get a newer
SWIG version!

I did do the

export PATH=/afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/external/swig/1.3.40/x86_64-slc5-gcc43-opt/bin:$PATH
source /afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/contrib/gcc/4.3/x86_64-slc5-gcc43-opt/setup.sh

stage, which I thought should have fixed this.

Let me know if there's any more information I can provide that would be
useful...
