BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ BibTeX call doesn't work

[wandasia]

Hi,

I need your help. I am trying to call bibtex and it chooses the wrong path for the aux file. All Files are in the same path.

I have LaTeX_test.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} 

and testbib.bib:

Code: Select all

@book{goossens93,
   author = "Michel Goossens and Frank Mittlebach and Alexander Samarin",
   title = "The Latex Companion",
   year = "1993",
   publisher = "Addison-Wesley",
   address = "Reading, Massachusetts"
}

I am trying to call bibtex LaTeX_test but it won't work.

Code: Select all

bibtex LaTeX_test
This is BibTeX, Version 0.99c (MiKTeX 2.8 Beta 5)
The top-level auxiliary file: C:/Dokumen.aux
The style file: plain.bst
Database file #1: testbib.bib

Do you know what I am doing wrong?

Thanks

Hi,

from the code posted I don't see any problems. The bibliographical database was consulted. Just make sure that you compile myfile.tex in the following way:

Code: Select all

(pdf)latex myfile
bibtex myfile
(pdf)latex myfile
(pdf)latex myfile

it worked. I changed back to Miktex2.7.

Do you know why it did not work with Miktex2.8?

MiKTeX 2.8 has still Beta status. So there can occur bugs like this.
