Hi,
I'm writing a report using Latex report class and want to have the bibliography as a numbered chapter in the contents page. I've tried various things such as inserting a new entry into the contents page using
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Bibliography}
but this just puts a blank page with the title 'Bibliography' before my bibliography which already has a title of its own. Is there any way I can make the bibliography fit into the numbered sequence of chapters in the report and in the contents page? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Note: I've also tried using
\cleardoublepage
\chapter{Bibliography}
\renewcommand*{\refname}{}
\bibliography{filename}
\bibliographystyle{plain}
but the report class doesn't define the command \refname
BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Bibliography as a numbered chapter in report

Bibliography as a numbered chapter in report
Forget that and use the tocbibind package instead.
The macro for the bibliography name in the report class is called \bibname.
