[Rivet] rivet setup on Mac OS 10.6

[Andy Buckley]

Hi Jonathan,

What bootstrap script did you use? Those options don't look like the
interface of the current one.

The error looks like the libHepMCfio library is not being loaded -- this
should happen by shared library chaining on Linux, but I know much less
about the Mac architecture. There is maybe something slightly funny in
that it is trying to dynamically load .dylib libraries whereas my
understanding is that "plugin" loading is meant to be done with .so libs
on both Macs and Linux.

So maybe these hint at the source of the problem, but first let's make
sure that you are using the latest bootstrap. The latest ones don't
install AGILe, largely because the emphasis is now on C++ generators
that have their own steering programs -- so I think you should try
installing AGILe manually, if you need it.

I have attached the TRACE output of this; the relevant error output is also copied below.  It seems a problem with the linking to the HepMC libraries.  I used the rivet-bootstrap script to build the executables:
