[Rivet] Rivet 1.5.0

[Andy Buckley]

Thanks Anton,

I will put in the explicit use of $(PYTHON) for the doc-building
scripts... yuck, the LCG environment is so broken: it *should* be able
to find python in the PATH!

The other problems all look like failures to find the .info and .dat
files: I can't reproduce any of them in my setup. I suspect that the
--datadir argument to configure is responsible: we use a dynamic system
to determine those default paths but I think it has to assume that the
library location (from /proc) is also the location of e.g. the
corresponding share directory. I think that if you build and install
Rivet without --datadir, and then explicitly move and symlink the share
directory, it should work. The workaround is to run in an environment
with RIVET_REF_PATH, RIVET_INFO_PATH, and RIVET_PLOT_PATH all set and
exported to point at
/afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/external/MCGenerators_hepmc20603/rivet/1.5.0a2/share

To test this hypothesis, try running "rivet --show-analyses ATLAS": if
you don't get any useful out, then set RIVET_INFO_PATH as described
above, and see if it works. And then reinstall so that it works by
default :)

Cheers,
Andy
