Hi,
I have two files pstricks-add.tex. One in
/usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-dist/tex/generic/pstricks-add/

and another one in
/usr/local/texlive/2009/../texmf-local/tex/latex/pstricks-add/

a "kpsewhich pstricks-add.tex" finds the one in the main
tex tree:

voss at shania:~> kpsewhich pstricks-add.tex
/usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-dist/tex/generic/pstricks-add/pstricks-add.tex

my local pstricks-add.tex will only be found before the one
in the main tree, when it is saved in the ../tex/generic part
of my local tree. But in the past kpsewhich found *.tex files,
saved in ../texmf-local/tex/latex/.., always _before_ those,
which are in the main ../tex/generic/.. part.

Herbert
