TexnicCenter makeindex pbm

Post by fenimor_cooper »

Hello everybody!
I'm using TeXnicCenter for Windows to compile my tex files. It's a monography, an old Kluwer style kapmono. It gives a pretty good .ps or .pdf. Anyway I need to make an index and my \makeindex \index{xx!zz} \printindex does not seem to work, nothing happens. The syntax is as follows

Code: Select all

\documentclass{kapmono} % Computer Modern font calls
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{makeidx}     
\usepackage{multicol}
\makeindex
\begin{document}

\index{xx!zz}
\index{xx!yy}

\printindex
\end{document}
Help, please.

What i get as a result of the compilation wrt to makeindex is

Code: Select all

This is C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7\miktex\bin\makeindex.exe, version 2.14 [02-Oct-2002] (kpathsea + Thai support).
Scanning input file E:\...
!! Input index error (file = E:\..., line = 1):
   -- Missing arguments -- need two (premature LFD).

Thank you!
