[Rivet] installation of RivetAndy Buckley andy.buckley at cern.chSat Jun 20 00:09:18 BST 2015
I'm not sure what is going on here --- it worked fine for me, using the lxplus6 system Python. You could try enabling a newer version of Python either manually or via the ATLAS localSetupPython command if you have that available. Can you also try sourcing rivetenv.sh, then running "python" and try "import rivet" at the Python interactive prompt? This should give some error messages suppressed in the rivet script, which should hint at what is going wrong.
