[FIXED] Biblatex doesn't find mybibliography.bib file?

Post by monamipierrot »

Hello, I just want to give up other packages so I tried to make biblatex work.
The problem is that I can't have biblatex produce any bibliography at the end, while in-text citations just come with the reference-key printed, asi if it couldn't localize at all my .bib file
This is the whole plain example.tex document:

Code: Select all

\documentclass [a4paper]{book} 
\usepackage [italian]{babel} 
\usepackage[babel]{csquotes} 
\usepackage[style=authoryear]{biblatex} 
\bibliography{examples} 

\begin{document} 
try\footcite[See][59--63]{companion} to cite\footcite{companion} 

\printbibliography 
\end{document}
and this is a part of the log file:

Code: Select all

...
LaTeX Warning: Citation 'companion' on page 1 undefined on input line 8.


LaTeX Warning: Citation 'companion' on page 1 undefined on input line 8.

[1

] [2

]

LaTeX Warning: Empty bibliography on input line 10.

[3] (example.aux)

LaTeX Warning: There were undefined references.

Package biblatex Warning: Please (re)run BibTeX on the file(s):
(biblatex)                example.aux
(biblatex)                and rerun LaTeX afterwards.
...
Can't understand what this does mean but I doubt here is the problem

I found that a girl n an italian forum had some time ago the same exact problem i but couldn't contact her.
I have to specify that the manually-installed biblatex package is not listed among MikTex packages, and that the LyX (yes I use LyX but the problem is not LyX-generated) Tex packages list does not show it (I wonder if anyway biblatex should be listed in the MikTex packages)
I'm 95% sure it's just a matter of helping biblatex find the .bib file.
Please help!
thanks

FIXED!
It looks it was just a matter of specify the full path of the .bib file.
The strange thing is that this works ONLY in LyX while with normal LaTeX still have some problems with path... Puzzled, but happy.
Now next problem is incompatibility (I think) with MusixTex package! Back again!
