LaTeX2e doesn't find .sty-files

[da blak sheap]

hi everybody,

if someone could help me with this, i were very grateful:

we use latex2e on our unix machine and we're trying to make
it using a new .sty-file. no matter in which folder we put
it, it doesn't work (any other .sty-files of that folder are
found!). is there a kind of global mapping file, we have to
reconfigure?

any help appreciated...

tia
