[Rivet] My rivet installation: HELP!

[Francesco Tramontano]

Hi Andy,
 I've just realized that I was not using the developer version of Python, I only had some modules,
so the installation script was of course not able to precisely find the reason of the failure.
This morning I installed the whole Python-dev package and everything seems to work fine.
Thanks for your attention.
Cheers,
Francesco
