[Rivet] problem running rivet

[Frank Siegert]

Hi Hendrik,

do you happen to be running a 64 bit kernel but your libraries install to 
lib instead of lib64 (like they do for Debian derived systems)? Then you 
might be running into 
http://projects.hepforge.org/rivet/trac/ticket/268
like Stefan did.

The fix is easy, just add lib/ instead of lib64/ to your rivetenv.sh
