I have been trying to get the bibtex referencing to work with a very simple documents in Linux but my problems looks similar than described here for the windows. Reference looks good when writing the text in Lyx, but in the PDF document the references are replaced with [?]. I have myself tested both with the Mandriva 2007 and Debian Etch (updated 2006.12.25 date) both using the Lyx 1.4.2 I have attached both of the example lyx documents, bibtex files and generated pdf files as an attachment. Mandriva 2007 Test with Lyx 1.4.2 ------------------------------------------------- - test2.lyx - ref.bif (created with kbibtex) - test2.pdf Debian Etch Test with Lyx 1.4.2 ----------------------------------------------------- - test.lyx - master_thesis_ref.bib (created with gbib) - test.pdf My ultimate goal is to use lyx for writing my master thesis in a way where the text would only show the references number ([3], [21], ...) and in the end of the document would be a list of all referenced material (sorted by using authors last name as a key) I have attached the example files within this document in tar.bz2 package. (also available from http://aragorn.kortex.jyu.fi:8080/lyx_bibtex_problem.tar.bz2) Here are also some of the output I am seeing in the Lyx console when using Mandriva.
