Thank you, I confirm that your version does work!

I had tried something like that earlier, but I thought I was getting a (rather uninformative) error msg, because latex stopped immediately after the \show. But that's what it's supposed to do, I now realize .

Is there a (xe)LaTeX macro to provide the path to the current texmf-dist directory?

I'm using the fontspec package to load some fonts for xelatex. The way our /etc/fonts/local.conf cat file is set up, fontspec finds an old version of a particular font (DejaVu Sans Mono) in /usr/share/fonts/dejavu ...

I thought I tried that syntax, but now that I tried it again, it works. Not sure what I did wrong the first time... Anyway, thanks for your reply.

I have exactly the same problem. My minimal file (very similar to the OP's) is this.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[backend=biber,style=biblatex-chicago.sty]{biblatex}
\begin{document}
blah blah \cite{Bauer2010} blah blah
\printbibliography
\end{document}
I get the same error:

Package ...

Hmmm, so if I'm understanding correctly (...), if I want both a 'see' and a 'see also', or both a page # and a 'see also', then the correct syntax is to preceded the 'seealso{}' with a '\' instead of a '|'. Like this:

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{makeidx}
\makeindex
\begin{document ...

Hmm, no comment. Ok, here's a minimal example:

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{makeidx}
\makeindex
\begin{document}
Here is some text, without which the index doesn't get built.
\index{Pronouns}
\index{Determiners}
\index{Irrealis}

\index{Demonstratives|see{Pronouns}}
\index{Demonstratives ...

Does anyone have an example of using makeindex with both a page number and a 'seealso', or with both a 'see' and a 'seealso'? I seem to be doing s.t. wrong, because makeindex complains at me when I try to do this, and it doesn't output what I expect.

Some details on what I'm trying to do: I am ...

It has become a common practice to group the field values by braces instead of quotation marks.

Interesting, our own bibref files are starting to look like that as we fixed things up that we didn't like (another instance where we had to do this was double quotes inside a title).

One bracing ...

I'm going to post a problem I had, with my solution, in case it's of use to someone, since I couldn't find any references to this anywhere. (Or in case someone has a better solution; conceivably this solution would cause problems for sorting an author's entries by date.)

I have a BiBTeX entry ...
