Hi,

I am using IEEEtran v1.6b. I have a problem when I try to use bibtex.

The IEEEtran is in <local>/texmf/tex/latex/IEEEtran

I added the following to my .cshrc to
setenv TEXINPUTS <local>/texmf//:

then did

<local> texhash texmf

When I make my latex file which has has
IEEEtran.cls

\documentclass[10pt,conference,a4paper]{IEEEtran}

it compiles

but on

bibtex report

it complains

*****************************************************
This is BibTeX, Version 0.99c (Web2C 7.4.5)
The top-level auxiliary file: report.aux
I couldn't open style file IEEEtran.bst
---line 51 of file report.aux
: \bibstyle{IEEEtran
: }
I'm skipping whatever remains of this command
I couldn't open database file IEEEabrv.bib
---line 52 of file report.aux
: \bibdata{IEEEabrv
: ,report}
I'm skipping whatever remains of this command
I found no database files---while reading file report.aux
I found no style file---while reading file report.aux
****************************************************

my files are named

report.tex and report.bib

contains

the following lines for the bibiliography
\bibliographystyle{IEEEtran}
\bibliography{IEEEabrv,report}
Any help is appreciated greatly.

Thanks
Anand

Anand,


You've got to also either override the environment variables
BIBINPUTS and BSTINPUTS or use *full* pathnames (e.g., ./report)
in \bibliographystyle and \bibliography. I need to be clearer
on this in the documentation.

Hi Michael,

Thanks a lot.

Once I added the following to the .cshrc file

setenv BSTINPUTS <local>/texmf//:
setenv BIBINPUTS <local>/texmf//:

it worked.

Thanks
Anand

you probably don't have one unless you have a
'c shell' (csh) on your system (or tcsh).

cheers,
jon.

In your login directory (~/) usually.
If you log in and type

ls -la .cshrc

it will show you the directory entry, if you have one.
