[Rivet] problems with RivetGun/Alpgen

[renkel at physics.smu.edu]

Dear Eike, Andy,

Thanks a lot! It now installs properly with no errors. However, I still 
have the same issue:

Pythia does not get ALPGEN events due to an unknown symbol ALPGEN. By 
the way, same happens with Herwig. It also asks for the file of 
unweighted events.

Peter.
