Re: Lyx doesn't run bibtex.

[A. Gunes Koru]

Thank you very much for helping. I did what you suggested.

1.  I gave the below command.

/Applications/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS/lyx -dbg latex > output.txt

2. created a new file, test.lyx (attached)

3. added the bibliography file, ref.bib (attached)  from lyx menu

4. inserted references

5. hit pdflatex and obtained the pdf output, test.pdf (attached)

6. Then, quit lyx. There was an output file from the above command, output.txt (attached)

7. The screen output is below.

Are you sure you're entering the bibliography the LyX way -- using
Insert > List/TOC > BibTeX Bibliography and LyX's Insert >
Citation... dialogs? Aside from that, if BibTeX is working from the
command line, I don't see what could be going wrong. Try also running
LyX with debug information: from the Terminal, type:

/Applications/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS/lyx -dbg latex

(substituting the path to where your LyX.app is for the /
Applications/...).

Copy the output from an attempt to typeset and send it to the list.
