If I remember correctly, that setup script that you are sourcing is from
my public directory and uses the SLC5 (not 6) builds of Rivet, GCC, etc.

To make it work, either keep logging in to lxplus5, or copy and update
that script in my public area. All it does is set up gcc43 and source
the rivet setup script in the LCG area: for SLC6 you probably want the
x86_64-slc6-gcc46-opt platform or similar.

Hope that helps... please let us know if the problem persists.
