[Rivet] problem with boost

[Chris Pollard]

Hi Ahmed,

Are you hoping to set up the latest stable version of Rivet, or do you
really need the development version? If the former, I suggest you start
here: https://rivet.hepforge.org/trac/wiki/GettingStarted. BOOST shouldn't
be necessary for the latest stable version, and the bootstrap should "know"
this and not look for it.

Chris
