Adding .cls files to TeXShop in Mac OS X

[Milah]

How do you add extra .cls files so that TeXShop recognizes them in Mac
OS X Leopard? I'm trying to add the ieeeconf.cls file but I can't
figure out where it should go.

Here is this, from TeXShop Help Panel:

"Users sometimes create additional sty, cls, bib, and tex files for
common use in several different projects. These files will certainly
be seen by tex and latex if they are placed in the same folder as the
tex source file being typeset, but then multiple copies of the files
must be kept on the computer.

It is possible to make these files visible to all TeXLive projects,
whether typeset from TeXShop or from the Terminal. To do so, create a
subfolder of the Library folder in your home directory named texmf.
Create subfolders named tex and bibtex. Within the tex folder, create
a subfolder named latex. Store your personal files in these folders.

Tex will find any file in ~/Library/texmf/tex or a subfolder of this
directory. Latex will find any file in ~/Library/texmf/tex/latex or a
subfolder of this directory, and bibtex and makeindex will find any
file in ~/Library/texmf/bibtex and ~/Library/texmf/makeindex
respectively, or a subfolder. It is not necessary to run texhash after
adding files to these folders."

Cheers

Howdy,

The bibtex information is a bit out of date. You need to put .bib files
in ~/Library/texmf/bibtex/bib/ (i.e., one level deeper) and .bst files
in ~/Library/texmf/bibtex/bst/ (ditto) in TeX Live distributions like
MacTeX.

Good Luck,
