[Rivet] sherpa for macos -> river for macos -> ? swig for maxos

[Daniel Weyh]

Hi,

I was (by now) not experiencing any problems. 
Installing Rivet worked quite out of the box for me (after I fixed my autotools ...).

I checked where I got swig from - but didn't remember for sure.
As I don't use any of fink or macports, and as http://www.swig.org/compat.html states compatibility with "./configure && make && make install" it was probably that easy.

Cheers,
Daniel

PS: I'd be interested in the Sherpa run. 
I always ran into 64bit vs 32bit trouble... and as I can use installations elsewhere, I capitulated ;-)

At least, they aren't complaining at me by email, which is a good sign unless they've just been turned off!
