Re: Setting the TEXINPUTS and BIBINPUTS varibles for latex inside vim/gVim

The setting of the $TEXINPUTS variable and the g:Tex_TEXINPUTS
variable is covered in

:help custom-packages
:help Tex_TEXINPUTS

Something that doesn't seem to be covered very well by the LaTeX
Suite documentation is where to set the g:Tex_TEXINPUTS variable.
It is set by the package in the ftplugin/latex-suite/texrc file.
The top of that file says:

NOTE: Do NOT be edit this file directly:
this file will be over-written each time you install a new
copy of latex-suite.

You can do one of the following:
1. Copy this file into $VIMFILES/ftplugin/tex/texrc
and edit the values in that file.
$VIMFILES is ~/.vim for UNIX systems and ~/vimfiles for
WINDOWS systems.

2. Just set values of each setting individually in your
$VIMFILES/ftplugin/tex.vim file. (See above for what
$VIMFILES is). You will need to use :let instead of
:TexLet in this case.

So, the proper place to set g:Tex_TEXINPUTS is _not_ in your
~/.vimrc file but in either of the two files mentioned above.
