[Rivet] Problems with Rivet2

[Dominic Hirschbuehl]

Hi Andy, all,

I still cannot produce Rivet2 plots with Centos6 / SLC6.
Are there any ideas, how it could work.
On lxplus I get:
Plotting PowhegPDF/ATLAS_2012_I1094568/vetoJetPt_Qsum_4.dat (0
remaining)
dvips: ! Couldn't find header file: tex.pro
dvips: ! Couldn't find header file: tex.pro
dvips: ! Couldn't find header file: tex.pro
dvips: ! Couldn't find header file: tex.pro
dvips: ! Couldn't find header file: tex.pro
dvips: ! Couldn't find header file: tex.pro
dvips: ! Couldn't find header file: tex.pro


I really need urgently these plots and I don't know what to do.
I also tried to compile Rivet2 myself on our Centos6 machine, but this
also doesn't work.

Any help is more than welcome
 Dominic
