Hi Andy and other experts,

Recently, I am using the rivet 2.* in lxplus6 (asetup 19.0.1). I found that there is bug when plotting using make-plots and rivet-mkhtml. The bug is that when I want to plot a plot that contains a ratio plot under the main plot. The rivet-cmphistos step works fine. But when using make-plots to make plots from the dat file, it usually fails. I checked the message it gives to me. It’s not the memory problem of latex.They are different bugs. For some reason this is caused by that  the TEXMFHOME value is empty.

To make the plots with ratio successfully, I have to do steps below:

export TEXMFHOME=/cvmfs/atlas.cern.ch/repo/sw/software/x86_64-slc6-gcc47-opt/19.0.1/sw/lcg/external/MCGenerators_lcgcmt67b/rivet/2.1.1/x86_64-slc6-gcc47-opt/share/Rivet/texmf<http://atlas.cern.ch/repo/sw/software/x86_64-slc6-gcc47-opt/19.0.1/sw/lcg/external/MCGenerators_lcgcmt67b/rivet/2.1.1/x86_64-slc6-gcc47-opt/share/Rivet/texmf>
export LATEXINPUTS=$LATEXINPUTS:$TEXMFHOME
export TEXINPUTS=$TEXINPUTS:$TEXMFHOME

I think this is a very big bug because the default configuration of the plots is with the ratio plots, which means that this could be seen very often.
