| Jul 28, 2014 at 12:18 | comment | added | Roey Angel | Ok got it working. So the path needs to be ~/.texlive2014/texmf-var/tex/latex/ but beyond that the files can be in any structure. Good to know! | |
| Jul 27, 2014 at 23:56 | comment | added | norbert | No ls-R needed, no texhash needed. But TDS structure is absolutely needed. You can see the search path by typing kpsewhich -show-path .sty, then you should know whereto put. Or look into any shipped TDS tree (texmf-dist) for examples! | |
| Jul 25, 2014 at 10:47 | comment | added | Roey Angel | No it's not. I didn't know it was necessary and I'm also not entirely sure how to construct it for the various file types (e.g. sty, bbx, cbx etc.). If ls-R isn't needed does that mean that also running texhash isn't needed? | |
| Jul 25, 2014 at 9:45 | comment | added | norbert | are the files in your TEXMFHOME in TDS structure? I.e., tex/latex/... and bibtex/bib/.... ? TEXMFHOME is a normal tree thathas to be in standard layout! PS: remove ls-R, not needed! | |
| Jul 25, 2014 at 7:50 | comment | added | Roey Angel | Why not? So I shouldn't run texhash for the $TEXMFHOME dir? Well anyway, even before I ran it didn't work. | |
| Jul 24, 2014 at 15:37 | comment | added | egreg | You shouldn't have a ls-R file in TEXMFHOME. | |
