[Rivet] Rivet 2.0.0rc (release candidate) for testing

[Dmitri Konstantinov]

Hi Andy,

I have tried to run rivet 2.0.0rc from temporary installation place:

source /afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/external/gcc/4.8.0/x86_64-slc6-gcc48-opt/setup.sh

cd 
/afs/cern.ch/cms/CAF/CMSCOMM/COMM_ECAL/dkonst/GENSER/lcgcmake-install-preview/MCGenerators_lcgcmtpreview/rivet/2.0.0rc/x86_64-slc6-gcc48-opt/

source ../rivetenv.sh

./rivet --help

And it says:

-bash-4.1$ rivet --help
The rivet Python module could not be loaded: is your PYTHONPATH set 
correctly?

While same procedure for rivet 1.8.3 works for me.
( 
/afs/cern.ch/cms/CAF/CMSCOMM/COMM_ECAL/dkonst/GENSER/lcgcmake-install-preview/MCGenerators_lcgcmtpreview/rivet/1.8.3/x86_64-slc6-gcc48-opt/bin/ 
)

For both cases my initial (before rivetenv.sh execution) PYTHONPATH was 
not defined.

Could you please take a look?

Cheers,
  Dima
