Hi Arno, an invaluable tool in order to find out where programs expect files is strace. AFAIK it's provided by all Linux distributions. By default it traces all system calls and thus produces more output than desired. If you only want to trace stat() and open() calls, just call strace -e open,stat <your command> Output is written to stderr and it's often more convenient to redirect it to a file and examine the file afterwards: strace -e open,stat <your command> 2>strace-output This allows you to use the search facilities of your text editor in order to examine the results. Though it's a matter of fact that kpathsea-debug is the best tool for debugging TeX-related problems, I'm convinced that being aware of strace is extremely helpful.
