TeTeX uses the kpathsea mechanism to look for files. This system can
be configured or changed by editing /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf, which is
self-explaining. Like you did, I put style files in
/usr/local/lib/texmf, and changed in /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf the line

TEXMFL                = $TEXMF/local

into:

TEXMFL                = /usr/local/texmf:$TEXMF/local



Good Luck
