BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Problem with texmaker and bibtex

[izaldavid]

Hi all,

I'm using texmaker under windows vista.I have a weird problem with the bibliography...when i try to compile the tex file, the bibliography doesn't appear and when i use \cite{}, it appears [?] in the document.
Anyone has the same problem...or similar? How do you use to compile (F2-F11-F2-F2)?

Code: Select all

\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Bibliography}
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{myref}
\end{document}

myref.bib

Code: Select all

@book{schiller,
	title ={Mobile Communications},
	author = {Jochen Schiller},
	publisher = {Addison Wesley},
	year = {2003},
	isbn = {9780321123817},
}

Did you ever get this figured out? I am having this problem as well.

A minimal working example (MWE) together with the according log file is always helpful.

Ok, here is my tex file

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
Test
\cite{Krstic95}
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{mybib}
\end{document}

mybib is saved in the same folder as the tex file and is given as

Code: Select all

@BOOK{Krstic95,
   author = "M. Krstic and I. Kanellakopoulos and P. Kokotovic",
   title= "Nonlinear and Adaptive Control Design",
   publisher = "Wiley-Interscience",
   year = 1995 
   }

I try to build the tex, then the bib, then the tex twice and it doesnt work. I get a warning that Citation 'Krstic95' % on page 1 is undefined. I really appreciate any help ypu folks can give. Thanks

No problem here (though not on Vista but Ubuntu). I used your code and named the file test.tex, then created file mybib.bib with the entry you provided and put it at the same place as test.tex Then I ran latex-bibtex-latex-latex (F2-F11-F2-F2) in Texmaker and got full reference.

Where did you put your files? Can you tell full path? It is possible that path with spaces in it prevents from correct compiling bibliographies too as was case with including pictures in some cases on Windows (e.g. your Desktop which is on C:\Documents and Settings... which contains spaces). You may try putting your files in C:\Test or similar location without spaces in its name/path and try again.

I put the files into C:\LatexTest and I am still getting [?] on every reference and no actual references coming up in the ref section. I even tried using sumatra pdf viewer instead of acrobat to no avail. This is really frustrating, especially since you can do it with the same example code. Any other ideas out there?

Post the complete log file produced by the compiler with exact these prerequisites as attachment to your next post.

Here it is

At first, please upload complete files as attachment to the forum server as requested. The provided log file is not produced by the code you posted above. Maybe I didn't say that clear enough. Just take your simple example from above and attach the according log file.

[Gilligan]

Sorry, I included the log of the actual file I am working on. Here is my code once again
Here is the log file as an attachment.

Here again is the code that produced it ('TestingBib.tex'), which doesn't work for me

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
Test
\cite{Krstic95}
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{testingBib}
\end{document}

Here is my bib file ('testingBib.bib'), saved in the same folder as the tex file above

@BOOK{Krstic95,
author = "M. Krstic and I. Kanellakopoulos and P. Kokotovic",
title= "Nonlinear and Adaptive Control Design",
publisher = "Wiley-Interscience",
year = 1995
}


Thanks again.
