[Rivet] installation of RivetAndy Buckley andy.buckley at cern.chWed Jun 17 14:59:58 BST 2015
Hi Debottam, Ok, thanks for confirming. I tried it myself and reproduced the problem. The quick fix, I think, will be to use an even earlier version of FastJet, since the installation of 3.0.6 in the LCG area is (for some strange reason) only for SLC5! Here's a version of the command which should do that version change without you needing to edit anything: FASTJET_VERSION=3.0.3 ./rivet-bootstrap-lcg This worked for me, and I will update the bootstrap script to use 3.0.3 by default. I've also asked the LCG applications manager what's going on with the FastJet builds, since the 3.1. series has been available for nearly a year and the latest SLC6 build is *three years* old!!! Maybe they have switched to putting their FastJet builds somewhere else, without leaving any signposts in the old directory... I'll find out.
