kpsewhich appears to require root permissions (Ubunutu 9.04)
I know this is a LaTeX (or Tex-live) question, but it keeps me from running LyX: I upgraded from ubuntu 8.10 to 9.04; now kpsewhich requires root permissions: e.g. kpsewhich article.cls returns nothins, but sudo kpsewhich article.cls returns the correct path. Hence, LyX seems to work fine when invoked as root, but not as an ordinary user. Does anyone know how to debug this? I used synaptic to uninstall, then reinstall texlive, but that had now effect. All of the ls-R files appear to be world readable. Running (sudo) texhash doesn't change anything. /usr/bin/kpsewhich has world-executable permissions. ...thanks!...dave case

Sorry for the false alarm--I tracked the problem down to a stray (and incorrect) TEXINPUTS environment variable. Root was working just because the root account did not have the bad variable. Sorry for the noise...thx..dac
