Stuff like article.cls is supposed to be found with empty TEXINPUTS. Ditto for other stuff that looks relevant (but isn't) such is TEXMFHOME. The TeX stuff (texlive and friends) was installed on the machine today. > Perhaps try building as a new user account (with no > envvars or trees other than those the build script itself sets)?
