[Rivet] Agile undefined symbol: pho_rndm_ linking error

[Andy Buckley]

Hi David,

Just a quick note that apart from the technical issues you've found, Phojet has only been tuned to work with PYTHIA 6.1. It looks awful with later versions, even with the Q2 shower. This, plus other poor performance, is why ATLAS just dropped it from future software releases...
