I have had that probelm before. What caused it for me was that my .bib file had been corrupted. Open it in a text editor and see if there are any brackets missing at the end of it. Or alternatively try and use one of the backed up .bib files. I seem to get a .bib.~n~ (where n is a number) backup file each time I change my file.
I hope thats of some help Nick On Fri, 19 Oct 2001 12:06:pm, Hassoun Karam wrote: > hi > i am trying to include a bibtex file (.bib) in a lyx document, according > to the tutorial, but i always get the following error: > LaTex error:something's wrong--perhaps a missing \item. > \end{thebibliography} > > any ideas? > > the .bib file was generated using gBib 0.1.1. > running redhat 6.2, lyx 1.1.6fix3. > > thanks > Hassoun -- ____________________________________ Nick Burgan Postgraduate Student Active Noise and Vibration Control Group Department of Mechanical Engineering University of Adelaide SA 5005 AUSTRALIA Phone: +61 (0)8 8303 6385 Fax: +61 (0)8 8303 4367 ____________________________________
