I installed bibtopic and made the script on Herbert Voss's website, following 
all other instructions there (put it in ~/bin, set permissions, checked the 
path, etc.). But my documents came out with nothing by way of a bibliography, 
and citations were empty.

Thinking that perhaps there was still a problem with the path, so that 
/usr/bin/bibtex was being run rather than my script, 
I put the script into /usr/bin/ and called it bibtex. I renamed bibtex to 
bibtex-system, and edited the script to reflect the change--just to eliminate 
possible problems with path. 

Permissions still seem correct--all files are world-executable.

Just for good measure I ran reconfigure and restarted.

However, LyX simply does not run bibtex. I can put my old \bibliography stuff 
back in, removing all references to bibtopic stuff, and LyX shows that it is 
running bibtex. But as soon as I \usepackage{bibtopic} LyX no longer runs 
bibtex at all. Any idea what the problem could be?
