[tex-live] problems with fptex texmf-local style file not found

[Harald von Aschen]

Hi!

(System: Windows 98/II)

My problem is: I have uninstalled TeX Live 7 (2002er version from CD) and 
installed the new TeXLive from the CD 09/2003 I received from Dante. And I 
have done the online updates as described on 
http://www.tug.org/texlive/bugs.html and http://www.fptex.org/upgrade.html.

But Latex is still unable to find my personal style files saved in 
TeXLive\texmf-local\latex\harald even after installing all updates and 
doing all maintenace features as rebuilding ls-R filenames databases.

If I put the style files in the directory where I my source tex-file is, 
all is working. But if the style file is in texmf-local (or even if I put 
it in texmf and rebuilding ls-R database) the file is not found.

The style file I use is the hint from Gerd Neugebauer in "Die TeXnische 
Kommoedie" from Dante, issue 2/1996, pg. 44 ff. for using amssymb and bbold 
for double stroked numers. Here is the relevant code I use in the style 
file bbbold.sty:

\NeedsTeXFormat{LaTeX2e}
\ProvidesPackage{bbbold}[1994/04/06 Bbbold symbol package]
\newcommand{\bbbfamily}{\fontencoding{U}\fontfamily{bbold}\selectfont}
\newcommand{\textbbb}[1]{{\bbbfamily#1}}
\DeclareMathAlphabet{\mathbbb}{U}{bbold}{m}{n}
\endinput

With the 2002er Version of TeXLive I don't have any problems but here I'm 
am helpless. (BTW: Why is the file still not found after putting it in the 
texmf file structure? And it happens with all other style files I've 
created, too.)

! LaTeX Error: File `bbbold.sty' not found.

Entering kpsewhich amssymb.sty results in

and even the original bbold.sty is found:
f:/Programme/TeXLive/texmf/tex/latex/bbold/bbold.sty

but I'm unable to find bbbold.sty (I can put it in whatever directory I 
want - not found) although the ls-R-file in texmf-local says

% ls-R -- filename database for kpathsea; do not change this line.
/dev/null

./:
ls-r

./latex:

./latex/harald:

Could this problem be a result of deinstalling the 2002er Version (I have 
afterwards removed the complete directory) and the installing the new 
version so that there could be a file I have forgotten to delete? 
Autoexec.bat seems to be o.k. after putting the fpTeX-variables on top as I 
have done with the old version:

REM --- Added by fpTeX (14/01/2004 00:59) ---

Thank you very much for your help!
