[Rivet] problems running rivet

[Hannes Jung]

Dear all

after running successfully now the implemented Rivet analyses, I tried the test example.
However I get again stuck with a seg fault.
Here is what I have:
--------
~/jung/cvs/rivet/myrivet> ls
MY_TEST_ANALYSIS.cc      MY_TEST_ANALYSIS.info  RivetMyTest.so    
MY_TEST_ANALYSIS.plot  
~/jung/cvs/rivet/myrivet> echo $RIVET_ANALYSIS_PATH
/Users/jung/jung/cvs/rivet/myrivet
~/jung/cvs/rivet/myrivet> ../../mycascade/bin/cascade < ../../mycascade/bin/steer_pp-minbias > test.out &
[3] 38251
~/jung/cvs/rivet/myrivet>  ../build/Rivet-1.5.0/bin/rivet-nopy /tmp/example_out.dat  MY_TEST_ANALYSIS
zsh: segmentation fault  ../build/Rivet-1.5.0/bin/rivet-nopy /tmp/example_out.dat MY_TEST_ANALYSIS
--------

Any idea whether this comes from using rivet-nopy ?
On lxplus it works, of course.

Thanks a lot
cheers
Hannes
