With help from #latex I have got my local latex environment set up, so
that I can run pdflatex on a simple tex file which uses the custom

to the preamble:
\usepackage{StuS13}
then C-X P gives the error

The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.
Any ideas?
The first thing to do is export to LaTeX and run latex manually. You'll
probably get the same error. But then you can play around the with the
exported file to see what's causing the problem.

I think this sets where TeX looks for source files.
Lyx can't find it though. I get "Latex

do?
You LaTeX distribution should set up a local tree for you. In my case, it's
~/texmf/. What path this is is set in the texmf.cnf file, viz: TEXMFHOME =
$HOME/texmf. You can change this if you want.
I have the tetex packacges installed on ubuntu, but no local tree that
I'm aware of. No ~/texmf anyway...I tried to to set this up on a
different PC (same OS etc) but now I can't even set the env var. Bash
complains:
bash: ~/latex/:: No such file or directory
bash: ~/texmf/:: No such file or directory
I think my setup is missing something but I can't figure out what it is.
Any ideas where to look? I could always move this sty file into the
place where the system ones are kept (if I knew where that was!) but I'm
sure that's not sustainable.
Thanks,
Jim
Note that your tree here should be structured like your main TeX tree. So I put
my custom style files into $TEXMFHOME/tex/latex/heck/; bst files undero
$TEXMFHOME/tex/bibtex/; and so forth.
And finally, you need to run texhash whenever you add or remove anything.
