Then run texhash to update your TeX installation.
In my system (Debian 3.0) the tex distribution is tetex and it has the configuration file /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf which says TEXMFLOCAL = /usr/local/share/texmf that is, I can put additional sty files in a subdirectory like /usr/local/share/texmf/book/ and then run texhash. Maybe there is some place like this in your system where you can put additional tex material without messing your (linux) distribution. Jo�o.
