Thank you Herb,


this is really confusing for a beginner to understand the TeX and LaTeX
folder structure. (I know there is one file explaining it, don't know just
now! :)

I moved everything as you suggested to :

/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex

here I did not found the folder "latex". I created that beast, moved the
folder 

/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.gwtex/tex/latex/html/

with the file html.sty to

/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/latex/html/

after a sudo texhash everything is "compiling" well in TeXShop.

Only the links are not clickable, which is probably not the intention of
this "html.sty". I am really wondering, what is this thingy doing, except
striping out some little html-code.

In any case thank you once again, for this good lesson :-)
