[Rivet] plotting bug

[Frank Siegert]

Hi Hendrik,

I'm out of ideas then... it sounds a bit like a broken Latex 
installation, doesn't it? Pointing $TEXMFCNF to an empty file (i.e. no 
configuration is overwritten) shouldn't make latex fail as far as my 
limited latex knowledge tells me.

This should be independent of make-plots, right? Or what happens if you 
set $TEXMFCNF to some directory with empty file or no file in it, and 
run latex standalone?
