Theses, Books, Title pages ⇒ Biber keeps giving me erros

[templateuser]

Hi there,
I really love the outcome of this template. I have downloaded and opened it in Texmaker. I have tried to compile it following all the indications on the template, however when I run biber I get this message:


Process started

Process exited with error(s)

I have not changed anything in the template yet or in any of the files that come with it. At the end, when I try to run the pdflatex I have the result that no pdf has been created...

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Hi Didak,

Hmm, that's odd. Are you running biber from the command line or from Texmaker itself? I'd recommend running it from the command line as that should give you more information on the errors (if there are any after that). Just navigate to the folder of the template and type "biber main".

Cheers,
Vel

Hi Vel,

Thanks for your answer. I have tried what you suggested and I think I have a problem with the installation of my biber. The message I am getting from the terminal is a long list of experimental at ...... Biber.pm line.... and at the end the following lines:
INFO - This is Biber 1.6
INFO - Logfile is "main.blg"
ERROR - Cannot find control file 'main.bcf'!

In main.blg I only get the following:

[0] Config.pm:387> INFO - This is Biber 1.6
[1] Config.pm:390> INFO - Logfile is 'main.blg'
[89] biber:218> INFO - === lun may 20, 2013, 01:27:18
[110] Utils.pm:185> ERROR - Cannot find control file 'main.bcf'! - did you pass the "backend=biber" option to BibLaTeX?
[110] Biber.pm:109> INFO - ERRORS: 1

Thanks

You said that you managed to fix the problem in another post, can you say what the fix is for anyone else who might have the same problem?
