problem using natbib

Post by cutia »

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to use the natbib package instead of biblatex because it's more convenient for the citation-style I need. Compiling the document, though, Texmaker tells me, the biblatex package is missing:

Code: Select all

! LaTeX Error: Missing 'biblatex' package.
See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type H <return> for immediate help.
...
l.16 {}
The bibliography requires the 'biblatex' package.
)
Package natbib Warning: There were undefined citations.
Here is my document code:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[bottom]{footmisc}
\usepackage{setspace}
\usepackage{anysize}
\usepackage{qtree}
\usepackage{varioref}
\usepackage{slashbox}
\usepackage{natbib}

\begin{document}
...

\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{mybiblio}

\end{document}

\end{document}

Biblatex always worked fine. Might it be possible, that I have to install the plain.bst file or something like that? In fact, I would like to use the natbib.fullname.bst‎ but don't seem to have the right to move the file to my home/.../texmf/bibtex/bst directory. Is there a special way to get the file to the appropriate directory?

Thanks you very much for your help in advance,
cutia

Hi,

I'm not using Texmaker which is why I won't be able to reproduce the error. However my guess is that 1) you can keep the .bst file in the local directory and 2) you have to change biber to bibtex in the Texmaker settings.

HTH,
Tom

Hi!

Thank you for your reply. I tried it with the bst-file in the same directory as the tex-file as I couldn't get it into the local-directory... It didn't work but finally, I found out how to get the results I need through biblatex. Thank you for your help anyway!
