New description:

 I am trying to run a project with a makefile. I encountered this error.

 {{{
 fatal error: 'TFile.h' file not found
 }}}

 This is because the root6 I installed via macport cannot locate where root
 libraries are installed.

 I only have `export MANPATH="/opt/local/share/man:$MANPATH"` in my
 bash_profile.

 I will appreciate your help please.

Comment:

 You can run `port contents root6` to see where it installed TFile.h and
 then use an appropriate `-I` flag when compiling (and a corresponding `-L`
 flag when linking) your software.
