using BiBTeX with TeXmaker

Post by Trine »

I simply can't make it work!

Under "configure" I have defined the path for bibtex (on my filesystem it is usr/bin/bibtex).
I have saved a seperate file, with the extension .bib in the present folder (where my main document is).
The file contains the following (it's just an example, just to try and make it work)

Code: Select all

@Article{ny,
author = {Peter Jensen},
title = {Jorden er rund},
journal = {Geometri},
year = {2005},
}
and \cite{ny} somwhere in the document.

in my preamble I have - along with everything else

Code: Select all

\bibliographystyle{plain}


before \end{document} i have placed

Code: Select all

\bibliography{bibliografi.bib} 
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Litteratur}
When I compile the document (F2) it is exited normally, but when i hit F11, it says "exited with error(s)".
How do I get the log file for the compilation of the bib-files. What am I doing wrong?
In the output it generates a section (unnumbered) that says Litteratur, but with no entries. No references from the citation in the text either.

Can anyone help? What next?

regards
Trine

Hi Trine,

was a .bbl file generated? You could check the bibtex log file with the extension .blg. Perhaps post it here, additionally the latex log file, both as attachments.
