[Rivet] Fwd: CPC Program Library - CPC-S-13-00112

[Andy Buckley]

Hi Frank,

>From a quick look that appears to be a real problem, not "just" a
Python-interface-for-doc-making one. I would guess that FastJet has been
built without the --enable-all-plugins flag. Something isn't right, but
IIRC we don't even provide an interface to use SISCone...
