Citations in Beamerposter

This is a beamer related question, not beamerposter. The bib icons are
not upscaled and should be replaced by text. So just set:
\setbeamertemplate{bibliography item}[text]

Example:

\begin{block}{Literature}
{\small
\setbeamertemplate{bibliography item}[text]
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{poster} % i.e. the poster.bib file
}
\end{block}

I used a block similar to the one above:
\begin{block}{References}

{\small
\setbeamertemplate{bibliography item}[text]

\bibliographystyle{apj} % style apj.bst
\bibliography{diss-mnem,mypublications}
}
\end{block}

but I get the following error:

! LaTeX Error: \newblock undefined.

See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type H <return> for immediate help.
...

l.1 \begin{thebibliography}{2}

The pdf looks OK, though.

Hi,

this must be related to your apj.bst style file, with plain we do not
have these errors.

Hi,

A have the same with plain.

Could it be a problem with the natbib package (that is what I use for citing)?

Sorry for the spam...

I removed the two occurences of

\renewcommand\newblock

from natbib.sty, now it works (for me).

Another solution is to add the following line in your tex file
preamble:
\def\newblock{\hskip .11em plus .33em minus .07em} %for natbib and
beamer

I got it from: <http://blog.zindel.org/?p=99>.
It is to make beamer work with natbib. With this u can use all
bibstyles (well most I tried anyway).
