Dear list,
This should be pretty easy to answer. I am having some problems
defining a default BibTex file. If I put this at the end of my org file,
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{/home/julian/Documents/Refs/BibTex/References}
everything works with no problem. But if I add this to my .emacs file
(setq reftex-default-bibliography
(quote("home/julian/Documents/Refs/BibTex/References")))
and this to the end of my org file
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{}
When I do the LaTex export I get an "undefined citations" error.
Any ideas?
Julian

Org-mode doesn't use reftex for its export. Unless that setting
actually includes the \bibliography{..} in the exported tex file, I
don't think that will have any effect. Actually in the docstring for
the variable I see it says:
*List of BibTeX database files which should be used if none are
specified. When `reftex-citation' is called from a document which has
neither a `\bibliography{..}' statement nor a `thebibliography'
environment, RefTeX will scan these files instead. Intended for using
`reftex-citation' in non-LaTeX files. The files will be searched along
the BIBINPUTS or TEXBIB path.
I think this *only* helps you insert the citations with reftex, you
still have to have that line in the tex file.
Hope this helps.

... but you can shorten it by setting BIBINPUTS in your .profile/.login/whatever
and then using
\bibliography{References}
in your .org/.tex files.

On TeX systems based on kpathsea and texmf, there are defaults which are
quite reasonable. On Debian/Ubuntu, at the very least, you can put your
files under ~/texmf in an appropriate subdirectory. Specifically, bib
files can go in ~/texmf/bibtex/bib and they will automatically be found
by bibtex. Similar directories exist for .bst, .sty and .cls files,
etc.
The actual paths searched by latex et al. are defined by the texmf
configuration, usually found in /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf (again, on Debian
systems; YMMV). This file is worth looking at as it is better
documented than the man pages etc! In any case, that configuration file
defines the default settings for BIBINPUTS, BSTINPUTS and so on.
