Hi,
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First of all can you confirm your .bashrc setting is working.?

in the terminal
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
echo $BIBINPUTS

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Here is the output

~$ echo $BIBINPUTS
.//:/home/USERNAME/bst//:.//:/home/USERNAME/bibFiles//:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and also can you check what is the value of BIBINPUTS in emacs.? Within Emacs
evaluate the following (either in scratch buffer or with key press `M-:' or
with `M-x eval-expression')

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(getenv "BIBINPUTS")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

OUTPUT is: nil
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

May be the last resort would be setting the variable within your .emacs

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setenv "BIBINPUTS" ".:$HOME/bib:")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I will try this one
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BTW how you are starting emacs? (command line or gui mouse click?)

I am starting emacs from GUI mouse click. All the above tests are done only with the .bashrc, i.e., after removing the lines from .profile and .gnomerc

Thanks a lot.

If you don't get what you set in your .bashrc, means the shell in Emacs is not
getting BIBINPUTS variable.

May be the last resort would be setting the variable within your .emacs

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setenv "BIBINPUTS" ".:$HOME/bib:")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
