What happened to the FITS file interface?

ROOT
1

Hi,

I installed the latest release of ROOT (6.10.08). I no longer see the FITS file interface: FITS.h and the associated library FITSIO. Is it not available in a standard installation?

Thank you

I can see it if $ROOTSYS/graf2d/fitsio/ and the tutorials are here too:
https://root.cern/doc/master/group__tutorial__FITS.html
The include is called TFITS.h it seems to be in: $ROOTSYS/graf2d/fitsio/inc

My installation must be incomplete:

root $ROOTSYS/tutorials/fitsio/FITS_tutorial1.C
root [0]

   ^

   TFITSHDU *hdu = new TFITSHDU(dir+"/sample1.fits");

What am I missing?

Ah… I understand. I add to install the libcfitsio-dev package first.
