[tex-live] prolems running latex in tex-live

[Karl Berry]

    export TEXMF={$HOMETEXMF,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!TEXMFMAIN}
    I remember now finding instructions on the web to set this as part of
    installing the llncs.cls file.

    I assume this is a big part of my problem.

Most definitely.

Good luck,
