[Rivet] Build of latest 2-6-x release branch

[David Yallup]

Hi,

I also had some problems building the same stuff in doc, which I had to 
do a bit of playing around with to work, for me it appeared there were 
some problems when the python rivet module were being called during the 
build.


Anyway I'll try with some more up to date compiler sets and see if I 
make any headway,

Cheers,

David

Maybe reasonable for v3.
