Including files in latex beamer

Post by mschulme »

Hello all together,
I have a problem with texing code when creating Beamer slides. I use TeX Live version Aug 2010 and the current version of the Texnic Center under Windows XP.

What I have done is the following:

In my folder named "TeX" I created a subfolder which is called "test". In this subfolder I have four files:

slides_code_main.tex

slides_code_chapter_1.tex

slides_code_chapter_2.tex

my_library.bib


I include the two "chapter" tex files in the "main" file in order to have not too much code in the main file and have the contents in the two chapter files. The main file looks as follows:


\documentclass{beamer}
\begin{document}
\include{slides_code_chapter_1}
\include{slides_code_chapter_2}
\newpage
\begin{frame}[t,allowframebreaks]{Literature}
\def\newblock{}
\bibliography{my_library}
\end{frame}
\end{document}


For testing purposes in the two chapter files I ONLY have written

text for first chapter\cite{hull_2008}\\

aND

text for second chapter\cite{hull_2009}\\

respectively.



I also use the TeX literature database (.bib) when I want to \cite sources. The libary file is called "my_library.bib". In the my_library.bib file
I have 2 entries:



@book{hull_2008,
author = {J.C. Hull},
title = {Options, Futures, and Other Derivatives},
publisher = {Pearson Prentice Hall},
edition = {7th},
year = {2008}
}


@book{hull_2009,
author = {J.C. Hull},
title = {Students Solutions Manual - Options, Futures, and Other Derivatives},
publisher = {Pearson Prentice Hall},
edition = {7th},
year = {2009}
}



NOW THE PROBLEM:
When I open the file "slides_code_main.tex" and start to tex it, the system compiles without error but also WITHOUT finding library.bib and, therefore,
WITHOUT making the correct source references. This results in warnings that references cannot be found. In the created ps the literature list in the end is empty.

For whatever reason tex does not find the library.bib file - but how can I solve this issue ???

Desparate,
Marcus
