[Rivet] problems running rivet

[Hannes Jung]

Dear Andy & Riveties

just a short report back on my mac - rivet problems.
I found that rivet-nopy is working fine, 
also with version 1.5.0 on my Macbook, so I guess
it is python which creates the problem.
Even changing from python version 2.7 back to 2.6.5 did not 
help.... 

But, at least I can use the rivet-nopy version.... 

Cheers
