[Rivet] No rivet and agile command found

[christopher at particle.uni-karlsruhe.de]

Dear Andy,

I still have some problems with Rivet on my Mac.
I am now working with the SVN version of your code
and, as I told to Andy in my last mail, now I have
the Rivet command but there is still something which
does not work with the python module. I have used the following
installation procedure:

./configure --enable-pyext 
--prefix=/Users/Christopher/Documents/HEP/Codes/Rivet_SVN/Rivet_SVN_InstllDir/ 
--with-hepmc=/Users/Christopher/Documents/HEP/Codes/HepMC/ 
--with-fastjet=/Users/Christopher/Documents/HEP/Codes/fastjet-2.3.4/InstallDir/

make

make check

Doing so I get the following message, about the problems with the 
python module:

Making check in pyext
/usr/bin/python setup.py build
running build
running build_py
running build_ext
Making check in data

List of analyses includes MYANALYSIS? rivet requires the 'rivet' Python module
NO
FAIL: testplugin
============================================
1 of 1 tests failed
Please report to rivet at projects.hepforge.org
============================================

Of course the PYTHONPATH variable is set. If then I do make install
I have the aida2flat, aida2root, compare-histos, make-plots, rivet and 
rivet-config commands in the bin/ directory of my installation 
directory.
In the lib/ directory there is the python2.5/site-packages directory, which
contains the following files: _rivet.so, rivet-1.1.3a0-py2.5.egg-info, 
rivet.py
and rivet.pyc.
The problem is that when I try to run rivet I get, again, the message
"rivet requires the 'rivet' Python module".

What should I do??? I hope that you could help me...

Thank you again Andy.

Best

Christopher
