I - as in river or
I - as in tiger?
I've heard it both ways?

I pronounce it with a long i, as in rise. For what it is worth, Webster's also gives that pronunciation.

It comes from rive........(to split) so it's pronounced the same as hive.

In this context, I'd say "surviving" works well.

I wrote a report in college about riving shingles and got an A on it. It is pronounced with a long I as in diving (like Van said).

Does anyone split shingles anymore, I mean for a living not just a couple for a quick repair?

Just so you know, college for me was a long time ago. You younger folks would call it back in the dark ages. :D
