Hi all,

installing 2.1.0 I get the following error

olda at marlowe:~/work/atlas/moudra/ZZ_ATLAS_2012_I1203852$ rivet-mkhtml
Rivet.yoda
Making 13 plots
Plotting ./plots/ATLAS_2012_I1203852/ZZs_ZpT.dat (12 remaining)
Plotting ./plots/ATLAS_2012_I1203852/ZZs_mZZ.dat (11 remaining)
dvips: DVI file can't be opened: ZZs_ZpT: No such file or directory

which with -v option resolves to

dvips d06-x01-y01 -f
Ouch---my internal constants have been clobbered!---case 14

and is a known issue:

Chaning: main_memory = 70000000 to main_memory = 12000000 in

in share/Rivet/texmf/cnf/texmf.cnf

solves the problem. It would be nice to have the main_memory set to
appropriate values depending on tex instalation distribution, though I
have not looked into that myself.  I am using generic ubuntu 13.10
texlive-bibtex-extra installation.

Cheers,
Oldrich
