[Rivet] Error with Rivet

[Andy Buckley]

Hi Hafeez,

The error is that you are not using an LCG standard platform ("raw" SLC5
is not one) and hence there are no builds of the required libraries (of
which FastJet is the first) available on AFS for the platform type
x86_64-slc5-gcc41-opt.

The solution is either to set up a standard GCC/Python combination (e.g.
GCC 4.3, Py 2.6) from the /afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/ area, or to disable the
AFS lookup via the --ignore-lcgext flag. I'd recommend the former, just
because the default SLC5 setup isn't supported. Or, even easier, set up
a standard platform and directly source the Rivet setup from e.g.
/afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/external/MCGenerators_lcgcmt64b/rivet/1.8.2/x86_64-slc5-gcc46-opt/rivetenv.sh

Hope that helps,
Andy
