This is more of a latex question. Bibtex finds the location of BIB files from the environmental variable BIBINPUTS. This is true on both Windows and Mac, and has worked so far. But suddenly, today, it doesn't work on Mac anymore. What I have used until now is the following method
In finder, choose Go->go to folder... ~/.MacOSX Edit "environment.plist" Add BIBINPUTS as a new key, and put path(s). Restart computer (seems necessary). But again, this doesn't work anymore. Any suggestions? I did some search on the internet, and it seems the /.MacOSX doesn't work any longer in Mountain Lion (but I'm pretty sure I did compile after installing mountain lion). People say things should now be set in launchd. But, hey, that's too technical for me. Anyone have a solution for directing bibtex to look for bib files in a central location?
