Hi Karina,

Thus spake Karina Flavia Loureiro (Karina.Loureiro at cern.ch):

make-plots uses LaTeX as backend, and this error message essentially
says that your LaTeX installation is from the last millennium. Well,
almost. To circumvent this issue, we include all the files LaTeX needs
in the Rivet installation. But you will have to set up some paths. The
Rivet installation comes with a "rivetenv.sh" and "rivetenv.csh" script
which should set all paths, and I *think* that already worked in 1.5.0
(btw, using that script might also solve your problems with 1.6.0). For
LaTeX that's the TEXMFHOME and HOMETEXMF environment variables.

Cheers,

   Hendrik
