Thanks. My line was
TEXMF = {!!$TEXMFMAIN, !!$HOMETEXMF}
I changed my line to your suggestion, and I could add a bst file without
having to run texhash.
For my tutorial, I need for LyX to be able to see a custom bst file. The
users of my tutorials may be novices like myself. I need to give
instructions that are straightforward and will work every time. If I
tell a user to:
(1) put the line 'HOMETEXMF = $HOME/texmf' in your
$TEXMF/web2c/texmf.cnf file.
(2) Change the TEXMF to {$HOMETEXMF, <the rest of the line>}
(3) Create the directory and proper tree structure.
(4) Move the bst file to $HOME/texmf/bibtex/bst
will this work every time?
I will explain the procedures a bit better, but will these four steps
work on all (most?) systems? It can be very frustrating if someone was
doing my tutorial, and after creating the custom bst didn't get the
correct results because of a TEXMF issue. The user would keep repeating
the steps with no luck because LyX couldn't find the bst--and the user
wouldn't know what was happening!
Thanks
Paul
