[Rivet] Agile returns nothing when running "agile-runmc"

[Andy Buckley]

That's most likely to have come from the build process. The AGILe
configure script should be able to guess the LCG platform tag by asking
some questions of the system but that seems to be going wrong. Has this
been seen before by anyone? It always works fine out of the box on
lxplus for me, but then I tend to use the rivet-bootstrap script for all
my builds.

If I remember correctly, you can force the correct LCG tag with a
--lcgtag=i686-slc5-gcc43-opt flag passed to AGILe's configure. Or
something like that: check the output of ./configure --help
