LyX/Tex Live issue adding another texmf tree

[Hartgrove, Peter]

Hi All,

 We're using LyX 1.6.2.1 with Tex Live 2008 on the Windows
platform. 

We are attempting to setup our own texmf-local tree which will be shared
by multiple

users via NFS. To test the setup we've created some bib files in the
shared NFS tree

and referenced them from within LyX documents. We've hit on a few
issues:

 

-  The bib files located in the NFS share are not appearing when
we add a

a new database within LyX however the documents do print correctly with

the reference data

-  We cannot seem to prevent the creation of the ls-R file in
the root of the

NFS shared location (Tex Live issue)

 

The NFS shares texmf-local tree is setup as:
texmf-local/bibtex/bib/local/bib files.

The variables HOMETEXMF, TEXMFHOME, TEXMFLOCAL are all set to the UNC
path of

the NFS share. Running texhash does indicate the NFS share is being
picked up and

running kpsewhich bib file does show the correct NFS location. 

 

Given conversion to PDF and HTML both produce output which includes the
data

it appears Tex Live is working correctly.  Anyone have any ideas why LyX
is not 

picking up the new databases (even after a rescan or reconfigure)? 

 

Has anyone else tried a similar setup?

 

Thanks in advance.
