I'm trying to get a figure in my LaTeX document, but I struggle to set the search-path

I use

\addplot[blue] table {invcum.dat};

from the example, however it keeps saying

! Package pgfplots Error: Could not read table file 'invcum.dat'.

After trying around with various things I looked at the reportings from Process Monitor (Sysinternals) and it shows, that the file is only looked for in the temporary directory.

In LyX I found the TEXINPUT option and it was set to "." I added my working directory to it (where the data file lies) but I keep getting the same behaviour.

I will continue by inserting the data into the documents directly, but I'd really like to see what I missed to get things working.

As a workaround, does it work if you set the full path to invcum.dat? – scottkosty May 13 '15 at 20:29

I would have expected TEXINPUTS instead of TEXINPUT. Maybe it was just a typo? Note that pgfplots supports an option called table/search path as of version 1.13 – Christian Feuersänger Apr 17 '16 at 06:46
