[OS X TeX] BibTeX Can't Find Style that pdfTeX can

[Martin Stokhof]

I don't know about any official documentation, but I go by the rule 
that I learned on this list: copy the relevant part(s) of the 
directory structure in the system texmf tree in your local texmf 
tree. Has always worked for me and has the additional advantage that 
I don't have to think about it :-)
