Hallo everyone... this is getting me reaaaaally tired :(On my computer bibliography works like a charm and it really is so nice to use and see, but today I finally managed to have my girlfriend stay sitted on the damned chair, to explain her how to use it and, of course, it didn't work :( You know, when you have to show something cool to someone important, well, it simply doesn't work having you look like a stupid geek or something.
Well, now, the problem is that I followed the same steps you showed me before with her computer too, so, no jokes. I start by telling you I installed Lyx 1.6 over 1.5 as I did on my computer previously too (and on my mac it works nice, oh, we both have a mac). So, the first strange this is that when I insert the bibliography from the Insert menu, after I successfully load my Jabref database, in Style I see plainat of course, but I want apalike. So I click on the menu and... ta-daaaan!! There's only plainat... why the heck?! So I downloaded from the tex site the apalike package and manually browsed for that one. It shouldn't be necessary though, this is a problem, on my mac I see a huge number of entries already available!! (In case you where guessing, on both computers I installed the full 200+ MB Text distribution).. Then, when, in any part of the text body I try to insert a reference, choose only numerical [#ID] and try to generate a pdf, I see no bibliography at all at the end of the document and instead of the reference number only a bastard "?".... question mark without quotes... Of course, and that's cute, if I use the super option, the question mark is little over the words :) How sweeeeet... Please help me people. I tried everything I got. That is: - Removed and reinstalled Lyx. - re-executed the installer several times - eliminated the preferences folder so that lyx could create a new preferences folder by itself - tried the all thing on a new document - reinstalled the LATEX distribution package Nothing worked and honestly I'm out of ideas... :( Greetings, Luca D.M. 2008/12/12 rgheck <rgh...@bobjweil.com> > Luca De Marini wrote: > >> Thanks to everyone, reading the documents you linked, I managed to obtain >> the exact result I needed.
