[tex-k] [KPATHSEA] KPATHSEA does not find files in TEXMFHOME

[Akira Kakuto]

> The task I try to accomplish is as follows: with the command
>         kpsewhich abbtechnote.cls
> I try to find a LaTeX class file in my home directory. According to the 
> documentation, I set the TEXMFHOME in the config-file like
>         TEXMFHOME = ~/.texmf/tex/{latex,generic,}//
> and the file resides in
>         ~\.texmf\tex\latex\ABBstyles\abbtechnote.cls
> Unfortunately, KPATHSEA does not find the file while it is travelling 
> through the directories:
> --- SCHNIPP ---
> kdebug:kpse_find_file: searching for abbtechnote.cls of type tex (from 
> texmf.cnf)
> ...
> kdebug:hash_lookup(c:/Documents and 
> Settings/DEU130357/.texmf/tex/latex/ABBstyles/abbtechnote.cls) => (nil)
> kdebug:dir_links(c:/Documents and 
> Settings/DEU130357/.texmf/tex/latex/ABBstyles/abbtechnote.cls) => 0

On windows, ~ is $USERPROFILE, as above lines show.
