<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Dominic, </div>The dvips problem seems to be an issue with the latex installation, not Rivet. I myself don't know how to debug this, but... Could you give some details about the issues you ran into installing on CentOS6? The 2.1.2 bootstrap worked without a hitch on the two linux machines I've run it on.
