Aux file not find

Post by weebo »

Hello

I'm usind LEd editor and MiKTex 2.7 and I am struggling with writing the bibliography for my thesis. After these steps:
1. Running the main .tex file ( where the page setting, and packages are included, and al the chapters are brought together ) ( F9 in LEd )
2. Running the .bib file ( F6)
3. Running twice the main .tex file
I get -> I couldn't open file name `biblio.aux'
I have no biblio.aux and no .pdf file. What could be the problem?

Thank you

Hi,

please save the following simple document as myfile.tex:

Code: Select all

\begin{filecontents*}{testbib.bib}
@book{goossens93,
	author = "Michel Goossens and Frank Mittlebach and Alexander Samarin",
	title = "The Latex Companion",
	year = "1993",
	publisher = "Addison-Wesley",
	address = "Reading, Massachusetts"
}
\end{filecontents*}
\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}

As we can see in \cite{goossens93}...

\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{testbib}
\end{document} 
Now compile it using:

pdflatex myfile
bibtex myfile
pdflatex myfile
pdflatex myfile

(Notice that you run BiBTeX on the file myfile and not on the bibliographical data base testbib.bib). Report any errors/warnings obtained.

Thank you very much for your reply. I did as indicated, your .tex file works , I got myfile.pdf as I should. Yet when I do the same on my main .tex file I get the following warnings:

1. Overfull \hbox (59.18164pt too wide) in paragraph at line 40--42
[4 <Lang1.jpg>] [5] [6]
2.Underfull \hbox (badness 10000) in paragraph at lines 70--75
[]\OT1/cmr/m/n/12 Speech
3.Underfull \hbox (badness 10000) in paragraph at lines 70--75
[]\OT1/cmr/m/n/12 slightly
4.Underfull \hbox (badness 10000) in paragraph at lines 70--75
[]\OT1/cmr/m/n/12 faster or
3.Underfull \hbox (badness 10000) in paragraph at lines 70--75

I don't know why I get this (the words from above: speech, slightly, faster or) are in a table, but I could see the table just fine in the pdf doc, when I didn't have the bibliography issue ( nor the .bib file and use it). And know it creates my .pdf doc but it won't open it, saying "There was an error opening this document. This file is already open or in use by another application".
Why are those "Overfull" and "Underfull" a pb now, when I fixed the bibliography issue, and it wasn't before ( before I inserted citation and use references from the .bib file )?

Thank you

Hi,

the Overfull \hbox ... message indicates that some material (text, an included graphic, etc.) has exceeded the horizontal space available and will stick out to the right.

On the other side, the Underfull \hbox ... messages indicate that some white space within a box had to stretch more that it was designd to do.

For the Overfull \hbox you should see the material sticking out; the Underfull \hbox effect might not be noticeable at sight. It would help if you can post the actual code that you are using and that produces those wrnings.

First, I apologize for the long code, I cut as much as I could without "losing" info, I say. So, the first code is LReview.tex and the second one is main.tex Basically, latex is not happy with something in LReview.

Thank you
