[Rivet] Problems with Rivet2

OK, I am afraid we can't do much concerning latex on lxplus :-(

I get know this:
[hirsch at electron Rivet]$ rivet-mkhtml
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/lustre/hirsch/Rivet/Rivet2.1.2/local/bin/rivet-mkhtml", line
17, in <module>
    import rivet, sys, os
  File
"/lustre/hirsch/Rivet/Rivet2.1.2/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/rivet/__init__.py",
line 12, in <module>
    from rivet.core import *
ImportError: /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.15' not
found (required by
/lustre/hirsch/Rivet/Rivet2.1.2/local/lib/libfastjet.so.0)

Maybe I am just too stupid
