Adding sty files to path

[jb162]

I have a custom sty that I need to use and read about adding to the
Latex search path. In my .bashrc I now have

export TEXINPUTS=".:~/latex/styles//:"

and a sty file in that dir. Lyx can't find it though. I get "Latex
error: can't find file StuS13.sty". Is there something else I need to
do?

Thanks,

Jim
