You should respect the depth of your tex tree when you install new
class files. For example I'd put your stuff into
/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/, or, as I usually do, into
/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/, which must be in your latex search
path. Assuming you're on Linux w/ tetex, your /etc/texmf/tex.cnf
could begin with the following lines:
TEXMFMAIN = /usr/share/texmf
TEXMFLOCAL = /usr/local/share/texmf
HOMETEXMF = $HOME/Texmf
TEXMF = {!!HOMETEXMF,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFMAIN}
SYSTEXMF = $TEXMF
VARTEXFONTS = /var/spool/texmf
TEXMFDBS = $TEXMF;$VARTEXFONTS
Then run texhash as root. You can use the /usr/local/ tree for
system-wide changes, and users can still set up their own trees in
their home dirs. What's found first is used first, so
/usr/local/ packages override default packages, and packages in home
dirs override /usr/local/ packages.
