[Rivet] rivet-bootstrap problem

[Frank Siegert]

Hi Lisa, all,

I have had this problem before and it comes from the fact that the
FastJet server does sometimes not accept connections from command line
tools (in particular the Python libraries here). As a quick workaround
you can manually download the tarball
http://www.fastjet.fr/repo/fastjet-3.0.3.tar.gz into the download/
directory created by the bootstrap script. The script should then pick
it up the next time you run it.

But as a real solution maybe we (Rivet developers) should contact the
FastJet guys about this issue?

Cheers,
Frank
