[Rivet] poblems installing rivet on mac

[Hannes Jung]

Dear Andy

thanks a lot for your quick answer.
I tried now to do a genser installation,... which took quite a bit, and 
not everything is working ... i send a mail already to the people there...

But, when I have MC generators installed via genser, how do I tell agile to use them ?
Just setting the variable  $AGILE_GEN_PATH does not really work, since there is 
not a common lib for all the generators... I looked how it is on lxplus, where it is 
linked to genser, and there these variable is not set (at least not on my machine, altough
agile works.)

And another thing... some time ago CASCADE was include into rivet/agile (I think), 
but when I look on the available generators on lxplus, it is not there, although it is 
in genser.... i there anything special one has to do to include it again ?

Thanks very much

cheers

Hannes
