You nailed it, Florian. Thanks I had messed up the environment variables when I was trying to add new cls files. However, the problem only showed up -- presumably -- after a reboot, or maybe after restarting X after an upgrade. Anyway, it was working immediately after I'd been messing with it, so I didn't make the connection.

I guess, then, that su-ing still picks up the regular user's env variables. (I didn't know that before.) > 2) Run "mktexlsr" as root. This should make tex rebuild its index of > files.

And another thing I learned. I did not know about the env command. Now I do. That's how I found the problem.
