harvard style referencing

[n***@ul.ie]

Hi,
I need to use the harvard style of referencing for my paper, but I am
driven mad!

First I tried installing the harvard.sty and corresponding bst's, but
when I compiled my paper it didnt recognise harvard or agsm.

Then I tried using natbib with the harvard style -
\usepackage[harvard]{natbib}, I also tried
\usepackage[nharvard]{natbib}, again harvard or nharvard are not
recognised.

I also tried using \citestyle{harvard}. this had no error, but also no
change.

I am using latex, and bibtex, in linux.

I also tried using natbib with \usepackage[authoryear]{natbib} and
\bibliographystyle{acm}, this yields a style like harvard, but the
references are number and in the text look like this (40), whereas I am
looking for the author date format....

If anyone can shed any light on the subject that would be great.

Thanks a million.

What do you mean by "didn't recognize" harvard. Didn't it find the
file? Did you get another error? Didn't you get what you want?

Sorry for the confusion,
No it couldn't find the agsm file, and it couldn't find the
harvard.sty.
I installed all the bst's that came with the harvard package in
/usr/share/texmf/bibtex/bst/harvard/
And I installed the harvard.sty in /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/harvard
When running latex filename, i get this error:
! LaTeX Error: File `harvard.sty' not found.
And when running bibtex filename, i get this error:
I couldn't open style file agsm.bst

Did you ran texhash (or whatever command your system use to update the
filename database)?

No I hadn't run that command - I didn't even know about it!

It worked though,
Thanks a million :-)
