Thank you again! >> You mean in the preamble? I have mentioned it there: >> \usepackage[style=authoryear,natbib=true]{biblatex} >> \bibliography{} > > The path is missing. The wiki clearly states that > "Note that the bib file must either be located in your texmf-tree, > or you must > enter an absolute path in the command above." Yes, sorry, I have seen that, but as I looked for the database inside of Lyx I forgot, that I would have to enter it into the preamlbe also. The whole procedure is completely confusing for me, as I dont know the data management of my computer. Iīm normally just a user with no further interests in computers and programming, so this is really hard for me to understand. And, honestly: I still donīt know what to enter. I tried two different versions, which both obviously donīt work: \bibliography{/home/stefan/documents/Bibliographien/BibDesk/testbib} and in german: \bibliography{/home/stefan/Dokumente/Bibliographien/BibDesk/testbib} here is he path as I would describe it hd/user/stefan/Dokumente/Bibliographien/BibDesk/testbib It also doesnīt work like this, but I donīt know how to enter it in a way, that Lyx could understand it. > So write the full path to your working directory in the > \bibliography command, > not just the file name. E.g. > \bibliography{/home/juergen/test/bbl/testbib} I also donīt understand this example: Do you have a folder with the name "home", or is this a certain folder which exists on every OSX? > BTW if you use the biblatex module, you do not need a dedicated > bblscrreprt > layout. The normal KOMA report layout will do as well. Does that mean, that I do not have to install every class I want to use separately? That would be great! Just choosing the module in document -> settings -> modules? Thanks a lot, best* Jess
