Installing new files into texmf-local tree.

Hi all,

I am experiencing some problems installing a new class
in tetex.

I want to install: curve.cls. I downloaded the
necessary files from CTAN. The files curve.ins and
curve.dtx processed okay.

Everything installed into:

/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-local

I fire up texconfig, config says:

=========================== Kpathsea variables
===========================
TEXMF={/home/rooijen/texmf,!!/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-local,
!!/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf}

Then I issue 'rehash' to rebuild ls-R database. I do
this as root because as normal user I don't have the
right permissions. mktexlsr says:

mktexlsr: Updating
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-local/ls-R...
mktexlsr: Updating
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/ls-R...
mktexlsr: Done.

A snippet from texmf-local:

% ls-R -- filename database for kpathsea; do not
change this line.
./:
.:
curve
ls-R
                                                      
                         
./curve:
curve.aux
curve.cls
curve.dtx
curve.dvi
curve.ins
curve.log
                                                      
                         
./lsR7057.tmp:

However, when I process a file starting with
\documentclass{curve} I still get an error: curve.cls
not found. I don't understand! I have tried doing
everything as a normal user, I have changed the file
permissions, the user and group id's, I've installed
into /home/rooijen/texmf and rehashed, and I keep
getting these 'curve.cls not found'. Am I forgetting
something?

System: RedHat 9, I compiled teTeX (latest version)
myself, and everthing when I use a default class file,
like book or report.

Regards,
Wilfred
