You're right. It does seem like giving the full path to Biber makes the difference. First I made a healthy LaTeX document like this with all of my settings normal and it was able to build fine: \documentclass{article}`` \usepackage[backend=biber, style=alphabetic]{biblatex} \addbibresource{Reference.bib} \begin{document} \begin{abstract} \end{abstract} Test \cite{whomstever} \section{One} \end{document} After that, I go to the settings and change Biber to its full path, /usr/bin/biber in my case. I go down the Build menu to Reset Auto-Detected Back End, and typing a little more, the live preview still works fine. If I take out the \cite{} and save, then it breaks as you described. Resetting the auto-detected backend doesn't make a difference. Changing the setting to Biber explicitly makes it work. Switching it to Auto-Detect after that keeps using Biber. But if you try to write \cite{} again, it will switch to BibTeX. Kile always does the right thing if Biber isn't given as a full path. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
