I have a question about the funtion bibtex-validate-globally.
According to its description, it should check for duplicate keys in
the variable bibtex-files. By default (in bibtex.el), this variable
is set to nil, so the function does not do anything. However, if I
set it to bibtex-file-path, whose value is given by (correctly) the
variable BIBINPUTS, it gives me a Wrong type argument: listp, [value
of bibtex-file-path]. So it seems that even though BibTeX sees my
dedicated directory of bibliography files, bibtex-validate-globally
does not work.
It would be nice if it did work, since I have a number of bibliography
databases in that directory, and bibtex-validate-globally could be
very useful to find duplicate keys.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Greg

The value of bibtex-files must be a list. One element of this list
can be the *symbol* bibtex-file-path. So
(setq bibtex-files '(bibtex-file-path))
is probably what you want.

What a stupid mistake -- I used the wrong syntax.
Thanks!
