Hi Rooters,

I've got a problem in intializing Pythia:

======== source code ===========
TROOT PythRoot("PythRoot","running pythia");

int main(){

//inits
int NofEvents = 100;
TPythia pythia;
TObjArray* particlelist;

TFile ofile("pythia.root","RECREATE");

pythia.SetMSEL(1);
pythia.SetPMAS(6,1,175.0);

pythia.Initialize("FIXT","p","p",820.);

(...)
}

=================================

The ouput produced is:

1****************** PYINIT: initialization of PYTHIA routines *****************

==============================================================================
I I
I PYTHIA will be initialized for p on p fixed target I
I at -1.997 GeV/c lab-momentum I
I I
I corresponding to 2.429 GeV center-of-mass energy I
I I
==============================================================================
Error: too low CM energy, 2.429 GeV for event generation.
Execution stopped!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I compared with the AtlFast-docu on the root-HP, but didn't find the
difference up to the initialize-call...

So: what's going wrong?

I'm running root, version 2.20/06 on LINUX.

Any help is welcome...

Thanks, Robert
