[Rivet] cannot use rivet-mkhtml and make-plots

[Chris Pollard]

Hi Roberto,

You can try a few things here:

- pass the -v flag to make-plots, which should print out more detailed
information on what is failing
- passing the --tex flag to make-plots should give you a tex document that
you can try to compile using latex directly.

Maybe that will help you figure out what is still missing?

Chris
