Afraid so about HepMC 2.03. And you thought the experiments were too big 
to be nimble? Oh yeah, you were right ;)

I think that to use the Genser packages you also have to set up the LCG 
GCC and Python versions. Something like what Daniel posted... and also 
the LCG Python 2.6. Yes, it would be good if LCG provided a script to 
set up their standard environment, and no I don't think they do :S
