Howdy,

Sorry the . in front of the path was a mistake. Normaly i put

TEXINPUTS.pdflatex = 	   .;$HOME/BWork/Base;$TEXMF/{pdftex,tex}/ 
{latex,generic,}//

in the file texmf.cnf

$HOME  is set to : /Users/ego

and yes i'm trying to set placement of input files. I always make  
this without problem but after the clean install of tiger and idem  
for TeX with i-Installer, the files are not found.

(I make a try with a symbolic link but i've a problem with sub- 
directories)

Greetings ( sorry for my bad english)

Alain Matthes
