As Peter Dyballa said in the TeX on Mac OS X mailing list, this isn't  
necessary, because TeX always looks first into your $HOME tree,  
without any need for a ls-R database; what's more, now you have an  
unneeded ls-R database in your $HOME tree and it is owned by root  
(because of ``sudo''), if not the whole tree.

That's what's really needed. It would be nice to have in the Lucida  
web site that simple instruction for Mac and Linux and the equivalent  
for Windows.
