Get rid of LaTeX Warning: Label(s) may have changed. Rerun to get cross-references right.

[Manfred Moser]

Hi TeXnicans ...

I am lost ...
I am just writing up my thesis with TeX using multiple files and a lot
of packages ...

And now I suddenly can't get rid of the warning
LaTeX Warning: Label(s) may have changed. Rerun to get cross-references
right.
any more. I don't know what I changed since it worked and compiling
everything a few times doesn't help at all.

What can be wrong?
What details can I find in the .aux files that might help me?
Is maybe everthing okay?
Should i include more details in another post (maybe part of the .log
file or so)?
How can i find out the error systematically?

Thanks for any suggestions

Manfred

The typical mistake producing this is defining a label multiple
times. Another thing can be a combination of \include and
\includeonly. The most serious thing, however, is an oscillating
document.

The best idea is saving an .aux file under a different name, rerunning
LaTeX, and comparing the resulting .aux files. If there is no
difference in contents, you have some other problem (some possible
indicated above). If there is, the difference should be a good
indicator of the problem.

One possible source of that problem is using the \bibitem{} command
with nothing between the braces.
