[Rivet] problem with yaml

[Andy Buckley]

Thanks Robert... I'll take a look at your config.log file. In future can
you please only send to the Rivet mailing list, and make sure it's
copied on any replies. That way you'll get better answers more quickly,
and the rest of the developers on the list know when something is being
followed up.

Thanks,
Andy
