Hi,

Thank you for the reply.

I have put the following in my .bashrc file

export BIBINPUTS=".:$HOME/bib:"
export BSTINPUTS=".:$HOME/bst:"
export TEXINPUTS=".:$HOME/bib:"


where bib and bst are my two folders whose actual path are
/home/USERNAME/bib for example.

But it is still not working.

Thanks

[I did one mistake, initially instead of placing these in .bashrc, i had
run those in terminal. Is it causing any problem?]
