I assumed you know.

If you've got the full teTeX installation,
start with

% texdoc tds

tds (TDS) stands for Tex Directory Structure.
This is a sort of a standard on how tex
tree should be organised. teTeX tree
adheres to TDS convention.

texdoc(1) is incredibly useful, give it a go.

The TDS convention allow for several complementary
trees. So teTeX tree, by default, is installed
under /usr/local/share, see e.g.
/usr/ports/print/teTeX-base/Makefile:

TEXMFDIR=       share/texmf
TEXMFDISTDIR=   share/texmf-dist
TEXMFCONFIGDIR= share/texmf-config
TEXMFLOCALDIR=  share/texmf-local

Basically, the TDS tree is where latex
will look for packages, fonts, etc.

In addition, by default, latex (or whatever
your invocation is) will look in user's
local TDS tree, which is under $HOME/texmf.

Here's a small example:

BUZI> ls -alR $HOME/texmf
total 12
drwx------   3 mexas  wheel   512 Mar 23  2006 .
drwx------  28 mexas  wheel  2048 Jul 30 23:15 ..
drwx------   3 mexas  wheel   512 Mar 23  2006 bibtex

/home/mexas/texmf/bibtex:
total 12
drwx------  3 mexas  wheel  512 Mar 23  2006 .
drwx------  3 mexas  wheel  512 Mar 23  2006 ..
drwx------  2 mexas  wheel  512 Mar 23  2006 bst

/home/mexas/texmf/bibtex/bst:
total 60
drwx------  2 mexas  wheel    512 Mar 23  2006 .

no, this is unrelated, see above.

different parts in different parts of your local tree.
In fact all you have to do is to copy this zip
under your $HOME/texmf and unzip it there, it will
place all its file where they belong. If you start from
this package, you will have your local TDS in place
straight away.

ok, I'll look at this later.

Anyway, what I did to get this book built
is not what I'd like to do all the time.
I want to have everything I need in ports,
so I'll work towards having all the above
packages in ports, eventually.
