But I want to set it to ~/Documents/bibliographies or something like that, not ~/texmf/bibtex/bib. My bibliography databases should be kept together with the rest of my documents. >> When I run BibTeX in bash, it sees the databases in that directory. >> When I use Emacs, it does not find those files.

Meanwhile, I got a solution from Fernando Tusell, I hope he does not mind that I copy parts of his message here: > I had a problem similar to yours: starting a session under bash, I > could find files pointed to by BIBINPUTS, but not otherwise. > It turned out that when I started Emacs from a graphical session in > Gnome, the file .bashrc (where the environment variable BIBINPUTS is > set) was not read.

I use Fvwm, and the solution was the same: I just set BIBINPUTS again in my .fvwm/config. Now it all works. But I doubt it has to do with the graphical session; it does not work when I run Emacs without X. It seems that Emacs does not read .bashrc at all.
