Adding Latex packages in Cygwin

[Swati]

Hi

I am using Cygwin distribution of Latex.  I added some
packages (style files *.sty) to
usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/misc and then tried to use
them using /usepackage{ } in a latex file, but on
compilation, this throws an error and Cygwin latex
compiler cannot find the additional packages.

Am I missing something here?  How do I make the latex
compiler find the packages?

Thanks
Swati
