Adding a style to TeX

[Damon Muller <dm-debian-user@empire.net.au>]

Hi Folks,

I have a mostly-slink-with-some-potato system, using the slink version
of teTeX. I've recently been playing around with using BiBTeX for a
bibliography for a paper that I'm writing, which is the first time I
have ever used BiBTeX. I found a style called apacite, which is exactly
what I need to do my references the way they need to be formatted
(following the Publication Manual of the American Psychological
Association).

At work I have MikTeX set up, which is a TeX distribution for Windoze
(as I am cursed with an NT Box). To set up apacite at work I just had to
copy the relevent *.sty and *.bst files into the localtexmf directory,
run a program to update TeX, and it worked wonderfully.

However, I'm at a loss as to how to do this with my slink tetex. I make
a couple of directories in /usr/local/lib/texmf and put in the required
files (apacite.bst and apacite.sty). The tetex doc said to run `texhash'
to update the ls-R file, which I did (as root).

When I try and run latex on my paper, I get the following error:

! Undefined control sequence.
l.111 \citeA
            {easteal-93}.  Yet while technically accurate, such a
	    definition

Which suggests to me that the apacite package isn't being used. It also
is not mentioned at the top of the tex output.

Can anyone suggest what I might have missed? The exact same files work
perfectly on my NT box at work.

While I'm at it, is there any way to view a compressed dvi file without
having to decompress it? I have not had any luck with gunzip blah.dvi.gz
| xdvi (it just pops up xdvi's open dialog box). I presume there is some
way to do it, but I can't for the life of me work it out.

Cheers,

damon
