That's the wrong place, such files belongs e.g. in your document folder. Miktex doesn't add the current folder in a texmf to the search path so you will always have problems if you try to compile there. If you add files like a .sty to a texmf root make sure to update the FNDB correctly: with miktex-setting (admin) for the common roots, and with the user miktex-settings for user roots. -- Ulrike Fischer http://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.
