BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ BIBTeX not working

[sgp]

Hi all,
I am new to LaTeX and i need it for my thesis preparation. I installed the TeX from the proTeXt bundle. Everything works fine except for the bibliography. I have the BIBTeX file in the same folder as the TeX file but the reference doesn't seem to come in the output pdf file. Can anybody guess what could be the problem?

Thanks in advance,
regards,
sgp.

sorry, i forgot to give details.

The top-level auxiliary file: try.aux
The style file: plain.bst
I found no \citation commands---while reading file try.aux
Database file #1: jfm2esam.bib
(There was 1 error message)

This what appears when i compile the .bib file

and in the the .bib file

Code: Select all

@book{ab94,
       author = {Charalambos D. Aliprantis and Kim C. Border},
       year = {1994},
       title = {Infinite Dimensional Analysis},
       publisher = {Springer},
       address = {Berlin}
     }

this is what exists.

the main .tex file has this,

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage { geometry }
\usepackage { fancyhdr }
\usepackage { amsmath , amsthm , amssymb }
\usepackage { graphicx }
\usepackage { hyperref }
\usepackage { graphics }
\usepackage { graphicx }
\usepackage {natbib}
\usepackage{bibentry}
\title{Here it goes}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{jfm2esam}
\end{document}

I am new to LaTeX, any help would be deeply appreciated.

regards,
sgp.

You have no \cite commands in your source. Entries from the database only go into the LaTeX file when you do

Code: Select all

\cite{<ref-name>}

If you want all of them to appear, do

Code: Select all

\nocite{*}

There is no \cite command in your example. Furthermore you will have to run (PDF)LaTeX, then BibTeX and (PDF)LaTeX twice again.


Best regards

Please write to readers of this forum as polite as you write to the readers of the document, especially if you ask for help. So please use punctuation, and don't write many exclamation marks in a row.

\citet requires the natbib package. Your code doesn't show that you loaded it, this could be a problem.

Otherwise please tell briefly, what you did (not just "everything"). I guess you forgot something.

Unfortunately not, because you keep shouting at me and at our readers.
You ignored my wish not to use bunched exclamation marks, why should I expect that you read other advice I write.

If you want to learn something, have a look at the short article "The Exclamation Mark", the section "How (not) to use an exclamation mark".

I apologize, i do not mean to shout at anyone. Hope to forgive my informal way of previous posts. In case that you or another reader want to still help me I wish to inform that the bibtex file was produced automatically by Mendeley http://www.mendeley.com/. Otherwise, thank you for the correspondence so far.
