This is what I recently did as root: # mkdir -p /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex Then for each .sty file or group of similar .sty files I created a directory and copied/moved the .sty file to the respective directory then as root # cd /usr/local/share/texmf # texhash That should to it, texhash lets LaTeX know to update its database Let me know if this doesn't work or if you have more questions.
