[Rivet] RIVET libgsl problem due to undefined symbol

[Maria Vittoria Garzelli]

Hola Andy and Hannes,

actually I tried with both the gsl of ubuntu and the gsl downloaded by
the rivet-bootstrap (which downloads and compile its autonomous version
of gsl) and the problem looks exactly the same.
May be when compiling gsl lib I have to use some special option ? 
May be is a matter of gcc compiler ? I have an old gcc-4.8
Or of python ? I have a 2.7 version....

These days I am in Les Houches Workshop (instead of Desy) and I am needing 
this for some studies we are doing here with Rivet analyses. 
But I was not imaging that installing Rivet on my laptop can be so 
complicated.
