[Rivet] rivet-mkhtml on standard SLC installations

[Dominic Hirschbuehl]

Dear Rivet developers,

since we are trying to extend the usage of Rivet in ATLAS we starting to
hit more and more frequently the problems with running rivet-mkhtml on a
standard SLC6 installation like lxplus oder Centos6.
Here are two typical errors:

dvips: ! Couldn't find header file: tex.pro

kpathsea: Running mktexfmt latex.fmt
/afs/cern.ch/sw/XML/texlive/latest/bin/i386-linux/mktexfmt: line 401:
/texconfig/tcfmgr: No such file or directory
fmtutil: config file `fmtutil.cnf' not found.
I can't find the format file `latex.fmt'!


It seems that you are using a much newer latex version or require
fetaures, which are not present on lxplus. This starts really to be a
"showstopper" or at least creates additional mail overhead and headaches
to get the newest latex on a standalone PC.

Is there a possibility to provide at least a lxplus compatible version?

Thanks in advance
  Dominic
