I have done the same. My file resides at /home/jay/tex/sample.tex. Today I
have noticed, kpsewhich command is not functioning properly. for example:
kpsewhich book.cls is showing the complete path but when I am searching the
path for other packages like graphics.sty, longtable.sty, not showing
any path.

Whenever I execute the latex sample.tex command, I have encountered with
mention above error. Do I have problem with Kpathsea? Do I need to
re-install tetex?

Please suggest.

Thanking you,
Sanjay
