[Rivet] Small problem with the latest version

[David Yallup]

This isn't actually using lxplus (I think theres special install scripts 
for lxplus?) but I think the SL6 version I'm using here is pretty much 
identical in version to lxplus so I could probably recreate the problem 
on there,

  [yallup at pc135 ~]$ which python
/usr/bin/python
[yallup at pc135 ~]$ python --version
Python 2.6.6
[yallup at pc135 ~]$ which latex
/usr/bin/latex
[yallup at pc135 ~]$ latex --version
pdfTeX using libpoppler 3.141592-1.40.3-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.6)
kpathsea version 3.5.6
...

[yallup at pc135 ~]$ *scl enable python27 bash*
[yallup at pc135 ~]$ which python
/opt/rh/python27/root/usr/bin/python
[yallup at pc135 ~]$ python --version
Python 2.7.5
[yallup at pc135 ~]$ which latex
/usr/bin/latex
[yallup at pc135 ~]$ latex --version
pdfTeX using libpoppler 3.141592-1.40.3-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.6)
kpathsea version 3.5.6
...

So I dont think I'm setting up anything other than python27? I could be 
wrong though
I note that I could also 'fix' the no latex error by directly swapping 
the make-plots script in from rivet 2.4.0

Cheers,
David
