[Rivet] Rivet in athena

[Andy Buckley]

Hi Liron,

For some reason you are setting up an Athena Rivet environment *and* a
standalone one. My guess is that they are not compatible and ROOT is the
first thing to fall over. You are also mixing HepMC / LCGCMT versions in
the versions of Rivet and AGILe that you are sourcing -- that will cause
problems, too.

If you want to run Rivet in Athena, just run asetup: nothing else is
needed. You shouldn't need to explicitly set the --cmtconfig flag
either, unless you are running on SLC6 but really want to run an SLC5
ATLAS build (why?)

If you want to run the Rivet standalone scripts, i.e. without Athena
involved, then your setup script is probably ok, except for the AGILe
part which introduces a clashing version of HepMC. The MCGenerators_XXXX
dir in the paths should contain the same XXXX in all cases otherwise you
will pick up inconsistent library copies and who knows what will happen.

A problem with Rivet in Athena is that we've not yet managed to get the
scripts (rivet, rivet-mkanalysis, rivet-buildplugin, rivet-mkhtml, ...)
into the Athena PATH in a fully consistent way. If you use recent
nightlies you will be able to run some of them on lxplus: rivet,
rivet-mkanalysis, and rivet-buildplugin should all work. But the
plotting scripts don't yet work from Athena -- because the Python
packages aren't installed into the Athena install area: Thomas Balestri
is working on solving that at the moment -- so to plot your output files
you will need to open a separate terminal with the standalone setup.

Hope that helps,
Andy
