[Rivet] Problem with Rivet installed on CVMFS

[Andy Buckley]

Hi Simon,

It's hard to know what is wrong without an error message, but I suspect
that the problem with rivet-buildplugin is that it references AFS paths
detected during the build. We don't make the CVMFS installation and have
complained many times that the way it is installed breaks paths.

The workaround is to either make a local copy of the script and to fix
the paths in it, or to copy the g++ command line which it prints out,
and fix that: rivet-buildplugin is just a very thin wrapper for passing
the right options to the compiler.

For rivet-mkhtml I don't know what the problem is. Again, if you can
provide an error message we can try to help properly ;-)

Andy
