noweb/LaTeX integration - .sty files not found

[Martin Michel]

Hi there,

I am struggling with my LaTeX/noweb setup.  I installed both texlive
and noweb as guix packages.  Compiled .tex files from noweave use the
noweb.sty style file for creation of DVI/PDF documents.  The file
noweb.sty is located at

	ll ~/.guix-profile/share/texmf/tex/latex/
	total 52
	-r--r--r-- 2 root root 40462  1. Jan 1970  noweb.sty
	-r--r--r-- 2 root root  8579  1. Jan 1970  nwmac.tex

But if I run `xelatex mydoc.tex`, it complains about the missing .sty
file.  Running texhash is not possible (sudo does not help):

	texhash ~/.guix-profile/share/texmf/tex/latex/
	mktexlsr: /home/michel/.guix-profile/share/texmf/tex/latex/: directory
	not writable. Skipping...
	mktexlsr: Done.

How can I add other directories for style files and especially activate
the "standard" path above?

Any suggestions are welcome, many thanks in advance!

Hi Martin,

file.

Try the TEXINPUTS environment variable.  It is useful for specifying
extra paths.   

The compilation command is:

$ TEXINPUTS=~/.guix-profile/share/texmf//: xelatex mydoc.tex

I use this method for documents that require asymptote.sty, since
asymptote is also a separate package.

Best regards,

Paul.

Hi Paul,

thank you, using TEXINPUTS solved it for me!
