The file /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf must contain a line describing where to find your "local" TeX directory tree. I have a line like this: TEXMFLOCAL = /usr/local/lib/texmf You can also have local ones that are on a per-user basis, though when root runs texhash, I don't think it gets each user's directory -- only when that user runs texhash. The relevant line in my /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf: HOMETEXMF = $HOME/texmf With that, I'm able to put local additions under /usr/local/lib/texmf or $HOME/texmf. Usually I use the former, unless I'm trying something that I consider very experimental. > While I'm at it, is there any way to view a compressed dvi file without > having to decompress it?

I ended up writing a little shell script to do it. I put it in my user's $HOME/bin directory, which is in the user's path, but you could also use /usr/local/bin. I call it zxdvi. Here it is: #/bin/sh TMPFILE="/tmp/xzdvi.$$" gunzip -c $1 > $TMPFILE xdvi $TMPFILE rm $TMPFILE Happy TeXing!
