[Tex/LaTex] How to make LaTeX see local texmf tree

mactexlivetexmf

I recently installed TeXLive 2011 on my Mac running Snow Leopard. I did not download MacTeX (for reasons we won't go into here). I'm running into a problem where pdflatex can't see my local texmf tree. I have the tree at ~/Library/texmf and I have a symbolic link to that directory at ~/texmf.

In a previous installation, it could see my tree at ~/Library/texmf without me doing any extra configuration after installation.

What do I need to do to make [la]tex see my local tree?

Untested, since I don't have the setup that you do. Try the following:

 tlmgr conf texmf TEXMFHOME "~/Library/texmf:~/texmf"

And see if that works. Normally this would be run with sudo but since you don't have admin access, I'm assuming that running it without will work for you.
