BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Bibliography conflict with author-year citations

[svend_tveskaeg]

Hi all.

First of all: I have never used BibTeX (or any other LaTeX bibliography tool) before, so sorry if the following question is stupid.

Consider the following document:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{natbib}

\begin{document}

Test: \cite{klafki}

\bibliographystyle{chicago}

\begin{thebibliography}{Klafki}
\bibitem[Klafki]{klafki}
Klafki, Wolfgang:
\newblock {\em Neue Studien zur Bildungstheorie und Didaktik}.

\end{thebibliography}

\end{document}

If I compile the document via latex test.tex, I get the following error message:

Code: Select all

! Package natbib Error: Bibliography not compatible with author-year citations.

What do I have to do i order to get rid of this error?

Thank you in advance!

Choose another bibliography style or try biblatex instead.

I have tried using the apalike style but I get the same error.

If someone will take their time to modify the example above so that it works (i.e., compiles properly), I will be very happy. Then I can play around with it in order to (try to) learn how to make bibliographies in LaTeX.

Thank you in advance!

PS. If I have understood it correctly, I have to compile via latex --> bibtex --> latex --> latex (or pdflatex --> bibtex --> pdflatex --> pdflatex if I want a PDF file) but I cannot get past the first (pdf)latex compilation.
Is this the case?
