<div dir="ltr">Thank you very much for your support.
<div>The .sty file is called poliphd.sty. Here are the steps to reproduce the issue:</div>
<div>1) put poliphd.sty inside C:/texlive/texmf-local/tex/latex/local/</div>
<div>2) run mktexlsr (it will successfully complete its job)</div>
<div>3) use the poliphd package inside a document and compile it</div>

<div>here is the error I get</div>

<div>The interesting thing is that putting poliphd.sty file inside the home texmf directory (~/texmf/tex/latex/),</div>
<div>the compiler can find the document without any issue.</div>
