</div></div>Howdy,<br>
<br>
Your personal tree in ~/Library/texmf/tex/latex/ (~ is your HOME directory --- NOT in the Library folder at the root of your hard drive) is the correct place to put the files. You also don't have to run texhash for files stored in your personal tree.<br>
<br>
Finally, the package itself is called algorithm, not algorithms (no final `s'). So you should use it<br>
<br>
\usepackage{algorithm}<br>
<br>
not<br>
<br>
\usepackage{algorithms}<br>
<br>
Hope that helps.<br>
<br>
By the way... is there some reason you can't/won't update your TeX system to MacTeX-2009? What version of the OS are you using? You can download MacTeX-2009 from <<a href="http://www.tug.org/mactex/2009/" target="_blank">http://www.tug.org/mactex/2009/</a>>.<br>
<br>
Good Luck,<br>
