Hi Dr. Buckley,

I did the following :

>ssh -X -Y dbakshig at lxplus6.cern.ch  //that's how I log in to lxplus6

>localSetupPython                             //didn't mention any version

output: Setting up Python version 2.5.4p2-i686-slc5-gcc43

>source ~/Rivet/local/rivetenv.sh

>python
>>> import rivet

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

File "/afs/
cern.ch/user/d/dbakshig/Rivet/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/rivet/__init__.py",
line 12, in <module>

from rivet.core import *

ImportError: /afs/
cern.ch/user/d/dbakshig/Rivet/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/rivet/core.so:
wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
Thanks,
Debo.
