Hi, all I downloaded and compiled and installed two versions of root, 6.26/10 and 6.28/04, but neither of them can find the TMCParticle.h header file. Neither under include/ nor under montecarlo/. Is there a problem with one of my steps?
I’ve also searched and looked at questions about the TMCParticle keyword, but they all seem to have the header file and are just having trouble using it, which I don’t have, plus I’ve added libPythia6.so to lib/, but haven’t done a recompile yet (because I’m not very familiar with cmake). Worried about what might happen if I go further.
If there’s any more necessary information that I haven’t provided, please leave a direct message and I’ll respond and fill it in promptly!
I would say that, for Pythia6 support to be enabled in ROOT, you have to specify -Dpythia6=ON on your CMake command line and make sure that the ROOT build configuration is able to find the installation path of Pythia headers / libraries. Could you please post here CMake’s output?

this is my pythia6:
/usr/local/Software/pythia6# ls
libPythia6.so makefile pythia6.f pythia6.o
your advice is very kind and useful, I had always assumed that things like PYTHIA 6 and 8 were on by default. Another problem here is that the pythia6 downloaded from the official website only has a pythia6.f file, the .o and .so were compiled by me through makefile.
