[Rivet] genser news

[Andy Buckley]

Hi Mikhail,

I'm pretty sure that we had this exact discussion before... maybe 
something useful can be found in email history but I have to leave now 
so can't do the "research"! I think it is related to something like a 
mismatch of GCC versions and paths and Python versions, but the paths 
you've copied in below look ok.

As a check, what happens if you set up your environment with these GCC 
and Python versions, open a Python prompt, and call

 >>> import dl
 >>> import ctypes

?

It looks like this failure only occurs during the documentation build... 
in that we do have to play some tricks to point paths at the build 
directory, but I wouldn't expect to get this error.

Cheers,
Andy
