Thanks. This indeed works if both bib1.bib and bib2.bib are files in the
same directory or on the BIBINPUT path. Sorry: the comma was
a red herring.
What is actually failing is reftex finding a bibliography in the standard
user location:
~/Library/texmk/bibtex/bib/
on Mac OS X. (Not sure the exact place on other OS's. Maybe this
is a bug only on Mac OS X) Putting bib2.bib there works find for
bibtex (kpsewhich finds it without problem) but causes reftex to miss it.
In my previous case, I had bib2.bib (called master.bib in my example)
in this location, but had also specified the equivalent of
(setq reftex-default-bibliography '("~/Library/texmf/bibtex/bib/bib2.bib"))
With this set, \bibliography{bib2} works, but \bibliography{bib1,bib2} fails.
If this is not set, then using bib2 is simply not found.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Create the following bib files:
bib1.bib
~/Library/texmkf/bibtex/bib/bib2.bib
2) Try editing the following tex file:
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\bibliography{bib2}
\end{document}
RefTeX is not finding bib2.bib, even though it is found by kpsewhich.
3) Add the following to emacs startup file:
(setq reftex-default-bibliography '("~/Library/texmf/bibtex/bib/bib2.bib"))
Now the RefTeX works with the previous document, but
\bibliography{bib1,bib2} fails to find information in bib2.bib.
(Somehow in this case, reftex-default-bibliography is not used).
I also tried setting the following, but it did not change any behaviour:
(setq reftex-external-file-finders
'(("tex" . "/usr/texbin/kpsewhich -format=.tex %f")
("bib" . "/usr/texbin/kpsewhich -format=.bib %f")))
Thanks,
Michael.
