Massimo:
I waited a long time to reply. I am working with both apache 1.3 and 2.2
on Slackware.
httpd 2.2.8
rivet 0.8.0
slackware 12.1.0
httpd 1.3.41
rivet 0.5.0
slackware 12.0
A friend is working with Debian, apache 2.2 and rivet 0.8.0. Following is my
half of a recent correspondence with him. I am encouraging him to let me post
his Debian experience for you. We are using Sqlite3 and PostgreSQL with
apache-rivet.
My experience on Slackware 12.1 was different.
INSTALLING RIVET
Following Goose's subversion instructions got me rivet version 0.8.0 files
in /usr/local/rivet. Then I used these steps to install rivet.
1. aclocal
2. autoreconf
3. ./configure --with-apache-version=2 \
--with-tcl=/usr/lib \
--with-apxs=/usr/bin/apxs
4. make
5. checkinstall --fstrans=no
6. installpkg rivet-0.8.0-i386-1.tgz
Comments:
Steps 1 and 2 issue warnings, but they can be ignored. I suspect these steps
do what genconf.sh accomplishes in Goose's protocol.
checkinstall (#5) creates a Slackware .tgz file to install with any of the
Slackware package management tools. Checkinstall also makes .rpm and .deb
packages. Installpkg (#6) is the default utility built into Slackware.
Later, if I want to remove a package, I can use any of the Slack package
management tools for that too. Removepkg is the default.
CONFIGURING APACHE 2
This turns out easy in Slackware. You can probably eliminate steps 2 and 3
below and do fine. If you never use index.rvt, you can eliminate step 5 as
well.
1. Add "LoadModule rivet_module lib/httpd/modules/mod_rivet.so" to the end
of the dynamic shared object (DSO) support list.
2. Make sure your DocumentRoot is set properly. Mine is: DocumentRoot
"/var/www/htdocs".
3. Make sure the controls for <Directory "/var/www/htdocs"> are set
correctly. The defaults work for me.
4. Add handlers for .rvt and .tcl files to <IfModule mime_module>.
AddType application/x-httpd-rivet .rvt
AddType application/x-rivet-tcl .tcl
5. Add index.rvt and index.tcl to <IfModule dir_module>.
DirectoryIndex index.html index.rvt index.tcl
6. Restart apache with either of the following.
apachectl restart
/etc/rc.d/rc.httpd restart
That's it. Unless you want to use .tcl CGI files, you're done.

You're welcome,
just out of curiosity: are you working with apache 2.x or 1.3?
