What is the output of
kpsewhich --progname=latex listbib.sty
kpsewhich --progname=latex --show-path=tex

That will tell you what the search path is when you are running
latex. You may want to modify TEXINPUTS.latex in texmf.cnf or
the TEXINPUTS_latex or TEXINPUTS environment variable.

Dooh!! Sorry for posting a dumb question to the list.
I didn't understand the meaning of --progname.
As it is, the (sensible) default is to search .../tex/latex// before
.../tex//, and listbib.sty was in ~/.../tex/. I created a latex
directory...
Thanks for the answer,
