I presume you have standard TeTeX on your system. The file /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf controls where TeX finds the files it needs. E.g. my texmf.cnf mentions TEXMFLOCAL = /usr/lib/texmf/local This location is however a symbolic link to /usr/local/lib/texmf. Therefore, I store my local LaTeX files in /usr/local/lib/texmf/tex/latex and my .bib files in /usr/local/lib/texmf/bibtex/bib. The texmf.cnf file mentions also a place for personal files: HOMETEXMF = $HOME/texmf So, you can e.g. store LaTeX files in ~/texmf/tex/latex/ Paul Huygen
