problem with bibliography

Post by sherlock »

New to Linux and LaTeX.

i am running Ubuntu 7.04 and I am having trouble getting citations to register in Kile from kbibtex.

I have compiled a database in Kbibtex, and saved the .bib file in the same directory as the Kile .tex file.

If I try Build>Compile>BibTex Kile tells me:
[BibTeX] TL_Izidine.aux => TL_Izidine.bbl (bibtex)
[BibTeX] finished with exit status 2

i put this code
\usepackage{natbib}
.
.
\bibliographystyle{apalike}
\bibliography{bibliografia}

I was hoping that someone could help me
Thanks in advance

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Just some remarks: 1) Avoid the use of the underscore charcater "_" in the name of your .tex files.
2) Make sure that the name of your .bib file is the same that you are using as argument of the \bibliography command.
3) After compiling with BIBTeX you have to run (PDF)LaTeX once or twice.
