Also, it has occurred to me that there may be problems using an
imported BibTex bibliography across two different operating systems.
Assuming the same .bib file was present on both systems, would there
be problems with LyX locating it on one OS if it had been imported on
the other OS? I would think that the directory the .bib file is
located in is important, but I don't know any specifics.
It all depends upon what kind of path you set to the bib file. If the
path is absolute, you will have a problem. If you keep it in the same
directory as the LyX file, I think you are usually OK. But the better
solution is to put it in an appropriate "system" location. You can find
out on each machine where TeX looks for bib files by running:
> kpsepath bib
You can also set an environment variable, like:
export BIBINPUTS=/home/rgheck/files/bibtex::
to tell TeX another place to look.
