To run LaTeX or TeX do the user need to have read permissions on the style, font, etc . files. Even though I specify the paths through the environment variables, TeX is unable to locate the files (they are indeed in default dir). Only way it can find it is when I have those files in current directory. The only thing that I could find was that I do not have the read permission on those default directries where TeX keeps all the font, style files.... thanks deeptendu
