Hello Manuel, to enable kpathsea to search very quickly for files, tetex remains a database of all the files in your tex-installation in /usr/share/texmf/ls-R (actually it resides somewhere in /var, /usr/share/texmf/ls-R is just a link to it). Whenever you install new files, you have to update this database, otherwise, tex won't find your files. This is done via the command: 'mktexlsr' as root. I think, texhash does about the same among a few other nice things. Regards, Daniel
