However, when switching between the 2008 and 2009 versions and using TeXShop as the frontend, there are no problems in either version; TexLive-2009 recognizes files under ~/Library/texmf and parses them correctly. The next thought was that it was an issue with different versions of <a href="http://latexmk.pl">latexmk.pl</a> - but TeXShop doesn't use that script unless it is specifically added on; it's not part of the basic distro.</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Helvetica, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Helvetica, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Quite frankly I'm at a loss to suggest what the cause could be for this behaviour. On the other hand, there is a fairly simple workaround - just include the necessary class and style files in the directory of the .tex document from which they are referenced. the ./ path seems to work without problems. Of course, this defeats the purpose of having ~/Library/texmf, but at least it works.</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Helvetica, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Helvetica, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Hopefully someone with more expertise with the guts of the LaTeX bundle and/or TeXLive will be able to figure this out.</span></font></div></div></span></div></div></body></html>
