[OS X TeX] Failing to locate style files

[Matthew Leingang]

Dear Christopher,

Did you resolve your problem?  Are you using TeXShop?  Were the files  
available before but suddenly not?  Then sometimes I find the problem  
magically goes away if you quit and restart TeXShop.

Just a stab in the dark.  Good luck.
