Hi,
Installed from source texlive-20100722. Thanks!
Writing a paper to Science and downloaded the style-files from
http://www.sciencemag.org/site/feature/contribinfo/prep/TeX_help/index.xhtml
Followed this wiki on how to install extra packages under texmf-local
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Packages/Installing_Extra_Packages
Running texhash or mktexlsr. It did not find all directories in
/usr/share/texmf*
Edited TEXMFLOCAL = $SELFAUTOPARENT/../texmf-local on line 64 in
/usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
to TEXMFLOCAL =$SELFAUTOPARENT/texmf-local
Now root@slack:~# mktexlsr
mktexlsr: Updating /usr/share/texmf/ls-R...
mktexlsr: Updating /usr/share/texmf-config/ls-R...
mktexlsr: Updating /usr/share/texmf-dist/ls-R...
mktexlsr: Updating /usr/share/texmf-local/ls-R...
mktexlsr: Updating /usr/share/texmf-var/ls-R...
mktexlsr: Done.
finds texmv-local/ls-R and the installed sty files can be used in all
directories.
Don't know if this is a 'bug' but it might be possible to change in
the default path generation to the texmf tree.
Of course one can put all extra style files in a ~/texmf but to use
texmf-local make it neat and clean.
