[Rivet] Using zipped I/O

[Corpe, Louie]

Hi Andy,

thanks for the suggestion. 
It doesn't seem there is anything bad related to gzip or lib in the YODA config.log...
(Everything looks like this [1] which looks largely fine).
There are some other errors regarding a compiler being c++11 or not, but I can't tell if this was problematic, given that everything appears to have compiled ok in the end.
I've put the config.log here in case you checked : /afs/cern.ch/user/l/lcorpe/public/RivetZippedIO/config.log

Still, maybe I went wrong in the installation.. I am on lxplus7, and followed the /2.6.0/rivet-bootstrap-lcg workflow..
Perhaps I should try on  lxplus6...

any other thoughts or suggestions welcome.

All the best,

Louie
