General ⇒ Bibliography is not printed

[BNPadgett]

I am not exactly sure what is happening when I drag the citations in from Bibdesk, but when I compile the document, the bibliogrpahy is omitted but everything else is there. I have the following command sequence in a root file:

Code: Select all

\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Bibliography}
\renewcommand\bibname{BIBLIOGRAPHY}
\bibliographystyle{ieeetr}% Change this one to format bibliography differently
\begin{singlespace}
\bibliography{bibliography}
\end{singlespace}

I am citing things within the independent .tex documents using \cite{author:yearll}

I am pretty new at this and I THINK I am doing everything I am suppose to... but obviously I am missing something. any suggestions?

I don't know exactly what you did, but I understand you only compiled with pdflatex. Right? If that is the case, no wonder you didn't get your bibliography: you must compile it with bibtex, then recompile with pdflatex, possibly several times, in order to resolve all cross references.

Ok... I am not so good with this so I have a stupid question - how do I compile the document in BibTex? I am using BibDesk as the reference entering software. I do not have a BibTex prigram for compiling the bibliography, where do I get it? (I have a Mac) Sorry for my ignorance... thanks for the help!!!

Added after much toil....

I figured it out. I didn't see the pull down next to the Typeset button! I got it now. Thank you fot the help.
