I had AGILE_GEN_PATH=/home/snavin/my_work/genser
[pcalicebhm09] /home/snavin/my_work/rivet_test > ls /home/snavin/my_work/genser/
agile-genser-bootstrap  downloads  pythia6

This works! I can see a list of Herwig, Charybdis, AlpGen and Pythia and generate events using 
agile-runmc Pythia6:420 --beams pp:900GeV -o output.hepmc

It generates 10 events. Not sure where this number (and other parameters) is set though. 
I will work with PYTHIA 6 for now and then attempt to install PHOJET.

Thanks for your help.
