[Rivet] Problems with Rivet2

[Chris Pollard]

Hi Dominic,

The dvips problem seems to be an issue with the latex installation, not
Rivet. I myself don't know how to debug this, but...

Could you give some details about the issues you ran into installing on
CentOS6? The 2.1.2 bootstrap worked without a hitch on the two linux
machines I've run it on.
