[Rivet] rivet bootstrap problems

[Andy Buckley]

Hi Ulrike,

This is an interesting system you're installing on! The problem is that
an import of the "dl" Python module is failing... but that import is
*already* a fallback in the case that the "ctypes" module is also
missing! Maybe the PYTHONPATH variable is getting overwritten and so
Python can't find its own standard library! Can you try this on your system:

$ python
>>> import ctypes
>>> import dl

and send us the output? I think that this problem would also probably
break rivet itself when you try to run it, so it's worth solving properly.

Cheers,
Andy
