This had always worked for me. It works. But if you want to use that style file in more than one directory, it gets tedious. =20 > On TeXlive installations(with full TeXLive 20XY installations), I have > not had to hunt down *.sty files, except of course that big tikz > hungry trigbook package: >=20 > http://media.texample.net/pgf/builds/pgfCVS2010-09-28_TDS.zip >=20 > I downloaded it, and did not know what to do with it :( Not even with > the full TeXLive 2010 package installed I could get that trigbook > going :( [compiled except the tikz stuff ] If you are using TeXLive, first check if a TeXLive package for what you want exists. First tell tlmgr(1) to use a CTAN mirror: tlmgr option repository http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet Then list all packages available: tlmgr list|less The packages you have installed are prefixed with an 'i'. > Am taking a look at TDS, but still confused :( Make a texmf directory in your $HOME. This is searched by default in TeXLiv= e. See /usr/local/texlive/<YEAR>/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf Just unzip pgfCVS2010-09-28_TDS.zip in ~/texmf, and run mktexlsr afterwards.
