[Rivet] Rivet cannot to be configured with swig

[Kamuran Dilsiz]

Dear Frank,

I installed Rivet-2.5.3. But, when configuring this version, I am having the following error which I do not know how to fix.
configure: error: *** A compiler with support for C++11 language features is required.

Hi Kamuran,
(+ Rivet developer list in CC)

You should be using the most recent version of Rivet, 2.5.3, instead
of an ancient 1.8.3. This will also solve your swig problem, since
that is not necessary for the recent Rivet versions anymore.

Last but not least, if you are not familiar with installing programs
on Unix systems you might want to use the rivet bootstrap script,
which will perform the installation automatically for you:

Cheers,
Frank
