Reference Problems (reference undefined)

Post by jambo_sana »

Hi all,

I'm using LyX for my thesis but am struggling with references. My .bib file is my exported zotero Library. When I add this to my document using the Insert -> Bibliography option, everything seems fine. After doing so, I can click on "Insert citation", see all of my different references, and insert it into the document.

However, when it comes to compiling, I only get [?] in my document instead of references. The log suggests there is a problem creating the .aux file, and subsequently the references are undefined.

At first I thought it may have to do with my .bib file (missing fields maybe), but I had the same problem when I used a dummy file and the examblebib file supplied with LyX.

Any help would be much appreciated - thanks!

Here's the log output:
