[Rivet] Genser installation twiki not working

[David Bjergaard]

Hi Marcos,

Your errors are because the file no longer exists at that location on the
genser server. Someone will have to update the script to the new location if it
exists.

If you just want to use agile with a fortran generator (newer C++ generators
like Pythia 8, Sherpa and Herwig++ write to hepmc directly obviating the need
for agile) here's my notes from a few years ago:

IIRC there's a flag you can set to make agile dump everything its doing, part of
this will show it scanning the directories to find a generator it can use, which
should help you figure out how to stricture the GENSER path to make the stuff
install correctly.

Cheers,
