[O] Bib file path relative to home using tilde ~ in Ubuntu

[Sanjib Sikder]

Hi,

Can I use the bib file path using tilde (~) when doing latex export ?

for example, Why can not I use \bibliography{~/Bib/RefAbv} ?
where my bibliography file name is RefAbv.bib
It gives error : undefined citation

I do not want to use \bibliography{/home/USERNAME/Bib/RefAbv}

I
 use dropbox. So if I can use tilde , then synchronzation is perfect. I 
can work in any machine without changing the path of my bib files.

Also I do not want to put the bib file in my working directory.

I am using Ubuntu 12.04
