Here is a possible procedure (I suppose that the texmf tree is owned by root,
you must be root to do it)
- if you have not done it already, create a site_latex dir in the texmf tree, eg
mkdir /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/tex/latex/site_latex
(this will ease upgrades)
- go to site_latex and make it public
cd /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/tex/latex/site_latex;chmod 755 .
- check that the required package is not here, eg
kpsewhich longtable.sty
- if not, go to the nearest CTAN archive and ask for the package (e.g. foo)
- download the files (generally two files: foo.ins for the install
and foo.dtx for the doc stuff) in ./foo after a
mkdir foo; chmod 755 foo; cd foo
- latex the two files and make the sty, tex and dvi files public
chmod 444 *.cls *.tex *.sty *.dvi
- run texhash
- test from a plain user login, either \documentclass{foo}, \usepackage{foo} or
\input{foo}
In fact you may have a similar procedure for the bst files in the bibtex part
of the texmf ree; I think that you have often bst files coming in with packages
and that it is simpler to add site_latex in the BSTINPUTS path of texmf.cnf
and keep every imported latex-related stuff in one place.
