This is a documented change in the 7.7 release.  If you had read the release 
notes, or had checked olc answers you would have found the following notice 
of the change:

        - style files have moved, and you may need to change your
        TEXINPUTS environment variable. See the stock answer "Changing
        Your TEXINPUTS for Release 7.7"

The full set of release notes can be found on olh (on line help). It states:

"Style Files Moved.  In addition to adding new styles, the new release also 
reorganized the style files into new subdirectories -- taking advantage of 
the fact that TeX now has the ability to search subdirectories for style 
files without your having to explicitly specify every directory.  This 
reorganization of files will not cause any problem for you unless you have 
been using the TEXINPUTS environment variable to tell TeX/LaTeX where to 
find the style files.  In this case, you might fail to find styles you 
have been using successfully before because the style files have moved 
and your TEXINPUTS settings do not include the new locations.  If this 
problem happens to you, you will need to revise your TEXINPUTS variable.  
To do this, you will need to understand how the TEXINPUTS variable is used."

It suggests a change from:

setenv TEXINPUTS .:/mit/sipb/lib/tex/macros:/usr/athena/lib/tex/macros

to the following line:

setenv TEXINPUTS .:/mit/sipb/lib/tex/macros:/usr/athena/lib/tex/macros//
