[Rivet] The rivet Python module could not be loaded

[Andy Buckley]

Hi Hao,

That build, as the path indicates, is just for our experimental
pre-release testing. It was built on SLC6 and hence can only be used
from SLC6. And anyway it is old and will be removed/replaced shortly:
the current released version is 2.1.1.

The best way to use a pre-built up-to-date Rivet from AFS is to source
it from a Genser repository at
/afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/external/MCGenerators_lcgcmt*

In particular, for SLC5 and Rivet 2.1.1 lcgcmt65 looks "good":

/afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/external/MCGenerators_lcgcmt65/rivet/2.1.1/x86_64-slc5-gcc47-opt/rivetenv.sh
