Like I said, it depends on your system. The best way is perhaps to look where plain.bst is and put apalike-fr.bst there too. Most likely you'll need root privilege to write to the directory.

Open up a shell and run the following

Code: Select all

find / -name plain.bst 2>/dev/null

It should output the complete path of plain.bst - for me on Ubuntu this is "/usr/share/texmf-texlive/bibtex/bst/base/plain.bst".

Now apalike-fr.bst is under "/usr/share/texmf-texlive/bibtex/bst/base/" but the problem of references still exists. I checked that plain.bst is under "/usr/share/texmf-texlive/bibtex/bst/base/". When I use "plain" as style, any issue is raised. The log file is attached.

Sorry, but I don't know either. Perhaps TeXLive uses some kind of caching and doesn't detect the change. Anybody here who can explain/help?

As a work around you can just put apalike-fr.bst into the directory where your .tex is. That works fine for me but is kind of a hack and impractical when you use the style in multiple documents.

I put apalike-fr.bst into the same directory as my file.tex and references appear now.
