As I have messed with the layout files,
I feel responsible to answer.
After installing the files to /usr/share/texmf/bibtex/bst/natbib
Try the following
export as Latex
run
latex filename
bibtex filename
latex filename
latex filename
xdvi filename.dvi
if the questionmarks still appear check the following.
1. Did you checkt the read permissions of the bibtex files?
2. Did you run texhash as root after the installation?
( For me elsart-harv.bst stylefile works just fine)
The main problem with the elsart layout file(s) are
connected with the frontmatter environment.
The frontmatter environment differs
markedy from standard title page layouts (it is genuinely more rich).
Therefore, it might be easiest to write the entire frontpage "as red code",
just in case you encounter problems.
Hope this helps.
