Hi Ben again.
I have just installed the Debian package gbib-0.1.1c-2 and all works
fine with lyx-1.3.2. I suspect, therefore, that the problem lies at
your end.
The location gbib expects to find the lyx pipes is hard-coded as
pipename = getenv("HOME");
pipename += "/.lyxpipe";
You must set your LyX preferences accordingly (use Edit>Preferences,
Input>Paths tab, LyXServer pipe /home/<username>/.lyxpipe) Don't miss
the <dot> at the start of .lyxpipe. Save the preferences, restart
LyX, start gbib and all should be fine.
