    @Jana Did you try my answer? As I've added, for clarity, you don't need to add the value of TEXINPUTS, the trailing colon suffices. Commented Jan 14, 2013 at 13:32

    I am aware that this problem solved now (this post is 8 years old) but I ran into a similar issue (exporting local path to TEXINPUTS and accidentally deleting the system path) so I leave this here for posterity: Editing environment variables in the console only affects that console. The easiest way to refresh is to log out and log back in again. (I had fixed the environment variable in a separate console and I was puzzled why latex still did not find the right path.)
