General Questions • [Software] User cannot run texhash

I installed TeXLive in my user directory in /home.

I verify the installation location:

$ kpsewhich -var-value=TEXMFHOME
/home/haines/texmf

I can run texhash as root without problem but cannot run it as user

$ texhash
texhash: /usr/local/share/texmf: directory not writable. Skipping...
texhash: /var/lib/texmf: directory not writable. Skipping...
texhash: /var/lib/texmf: directory not writable. Skipping...
texhash: /var/lib/texmf: directory not writable. Skipping...
texhash: Done.

Given that /var/lib is owned by root, I'm not surprised. But I see on line that some are able to run texhash as user. Does it make any difference?
The installation put these files into user's directory: texmf.cnf. texmfcnf.lua, texmf-config, texmf-dist, texmf-local, texmf-var and tlpkg.
