[Rivet] problem with rivet-mkhtml

Hi Lorenzo,

this is exactly what I asked in first place: you don't have the
necessary env variables like TEXMFCNF set which come with rivetenv.sh!
Please refer to the Rivet documentation for your own installation or
to the CMS Rivet maintainers if you want to use it within the CMS
framework.

There is also a Rivet installation on afs which you can setup with e.g.

source /afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/external/MCGenerators_lcgcmt67b/rivet/2.2.1/x86_64-slc6-gcc47-opt/rivetenv.sh

but I don't know which lcgcmt tag to use to be compatible with the CMS
framework.

Cheers,
Frank
