BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ numbering the references

[darwinn]

Hi there,
I have been trying to figure out what is wrong with my files, but after two days I give up...Please help me to find the prob.
I use winedt and I keep receiving:

Code: Select all

]
Conclusions/concl.tex
Chapter 11.
) [102
] (bii.tex (Thesis2.bbl
! Undefined control sequence.
<argument> \@listctr        
l.3 \bibitem{F62}     
? 
! You can't use `\relax' after \the.
<recently read> \c@       
l.3 \bibitem{F62}    
? 
! Undefined control sequence.
<argument> \@listctr 

when trying to compile... as a result, .pdf is created with text, but next to the text where I put \cite{F62}, only (0) appears as a number of reference. In the bibliography page it writes all the information from .bib file regarding this cite, but no numbers at all...

I know it has something to do with \counter, but I was not able to find what and where to put the counter (or edit):/
I will be grateful for help with this,
Darwin

P.S.
I use \bibliographystyle{unsrt}
anny more information needed?

We are going to need a proper example of what you are doing: snippets will not help out here!

I'm not sure what would you need for this:/
here is what I think might be necesssary, but if it is not enough, I will paste all the .cls and .tex files.
main file:

content chapter5.tex:

\chapter{Model analysis}

In .cls file I will paste only those commands that I assume might have something in common with the issue or ones I am not sure about.

On a third day I finally made it!
I found what is affecting creation of the references! ..But still it would be nice if someone can look at this problem and check what was wrong...
It was the "apalike" package that I had to dump in order to have everything working nice and smooth

[localghost]

We still miss a minimal working example (MWE) rid of all unnecessary stuff.
