[Rivet] Question about running analysis

[Brian Shuve]

How embarrassing -- I had changed the plugin declaration line and
constructor lines in the original version, but having misunderstood a line
in the tutorial, I used mkanalysis and overwrote my code with a blank
template. I forgot to make these changes in the new version. It now find
the analysis perfectly fine.

Thanks very much for your prompt reply, and sorry for the bother!

Brian
