[Rivet] make-plots problems

[Andy Buckley]

Are any other LaTeX commands found, e.g. latex, dvips, ps2pdf, ps2eps?
kpsewhich should be a standard component of a LaTeX installation, and
without LaTeX make-plots *certainly* won't work!

Because of this, there's currently no workaround for the kpsewhich
requirement other than to write out in the TeX file format and compile
the plots on another machine.. That's because we've never encountered a
case where kpsewhich was missing but the rest of the required packages
are fine. I'll add some explicit tests to the next Rivet release, but
all that they will do is to add a more readable error message.

Cheers,
Andy
