An update today of the minimals breaks the bibtex search path:

This is BibTeX, Version 0.99d (TeX Live 2010/pretest) Capacity: max_strings=150000, hash_size=150000, hash_prime=127507 The top-level auxiliary file: Livre.aux I couldn't open style file cont-no.bst ---line 2 of file Livre.aux

: \bibstyle{cont-no : : }

I'm skipping whatever remains of this command I found no style file---while reading file Livre.aux

whereas minimals from Friday (11 June) succeeds:

Is texmf.cnf still ok? There should be a BSTINPUTS line there.

To check this, I re-installed the minimals this morning and now bibtex works. BSTINPUTS is defined in texmf.cnf; I do not know what was there yesterday... Alan

Looks ok, but I have the same problem. This is the line from texmf.cnf:

BSTINPUTS = .;{$TXRESOURCES}//;{$CTXDEVTXPATH};$TEXMF/bibtex/bst//

I also got that error when my texlsr was corrupted/outdated. Running mktexlsr fixed bibtex for me. (Additionally I had to run setuptex{.bat} first, before bibtex worked correctly.)

The problem must be elsewhere. After updating the minimals this morning, bibtex now works. The definition of BSTINPUTS is indeed as above. As I had removed the broken version that I had installed this weekend, I can no longer reproduce the error. Alan
