installing new latex document type - bst file not found by documents

[Micha Feigin <michf@post.tau.ac.il>]

I just installed the files for a new document type from cpan (latex8).
I put them into /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/latex8 and ran texhash.
The document type is recognized properly (the sty file is found by
latex), but when trying to use the bibliography style, (latex8.bst)
without a full path it is not found.
When I installed the IEEEtran document type it worked fine but I don't
think I did something different.
Am I missing something?

Thanx
