Hello, I'm working on a book with a coauthor. I copied all my files (including preamble and .bib database) to his machine. We are calling biblatex with the following options:
\usepackage[style=authoryear-icomp,natbib=true,block=space,hyperref=true,abb reviate=true,sorting=nyt,backend=bibtex8,isbn=false]{biblatex} Compiling it generates two errors: (1) (/usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-dist/tex/latex/biblatex/cbx/authoryear-icomp. cbx File: authoryear-icomp.cbx 2011/06/08 v1.5 biblatex citation style ! Package xkeyval Error: `uniquelist' undefined in families `blx@opt@pre'. See the xkeyval package documentation for explanation. 2) (/usr/local/texlive/2011/../texmf-local/tex/latex/biblatex/biblatex.cfg File: biblatex.cfg ) ! Package xkeyval Error: `isbn' undefined in families `blx@opt@pre'. See the xkeyval package documentation for explanation. But if I delete "isbn=false" and change to style=authoryear than compiling goes fine and no error occurs. So with the following call we get no error: \usepackage[style=authoryear,natbib=true,block=space,hyperref=true,abbreviat e=true,sorting=nyt,backend=bibtex8]{biblatex} As far as I can say we have exactly the same the same files. We both have the TexLive 2011 and we are both working with LyX 2.0.2. The only difference seems to be the machine: He is working on a MacBook4.1 with OS X 10.5.8 and I have a MacBookPro5,1 with OS X 10.6.8 running. What could be the reason for this weir error? Peter
