From the warnings you get, there's no error in your .tex file. What's happening here is that the first time you process your source, latex creates a number of additional files, depending on the resources you're using. Normally, it creates at least a thesis-komascript.aux and a thesis-komascript.log. The second (thesis-komascript.log) is the log file; it contains all warning and error messages you might get during processing. It's the first (thesis-komascript.aux) that you'll want. It contains all references to labels you created in your source together with the information you'll want to associate with the label, like equation number, section number, page number, etc. Therefore, you'll have to run latex on your file (thesis-komascript.tex) at least once more so that it can associate the label reference with the desired number. If you are also bibtex'ing, then you'll have to run latex, then bibtex, then latex again, sometimes twice, until it gets all references and citations correctly. Happy latex'ing. It reminds me of the good ole days when there was no such things as LyX, TeXmacs, scientific word to simplify our exciting task of writing a thesis... -- Rudi Gaelzer Department of Physics Instituto of Physics and Mathematics Federal University of Pelotas Caixa Postal 354 - Campus UFPel 96010-900 Pelotas - RS Phone: +55-53-3275-7416 FAX: +55-53-3275-7343 Registered Linux User # 153741
