- in lyx i add the bibliography from the menu
BUT nothing happens...
please, help me
Have you inserted the bibliography at the end of your document? I.e.:
Insert>Lists/TOC>BibTeX Bibliography, then select the BibTeX file and
whatever bibliography style you want to use. Without that, LyX cannot
access citations.
If you have done that, the problem may be that the LyX pipe is not set
up correctly. I do not know how to do this on Windows, so if you are on
Windows someone else will have to tell you. And I do not even know if it
works on Windows in 1.6.x, though I know it will in 2.0. Anyway, on
Linux or OSX, you can do this:
1. The LyX part. Go to Tools>Preferences>Paths. In the "LyXServer Pipe"
field enter whatever you want, really. I have:
/home/rgheck/.lyxpipe
but you can put the pipe wherever you wish. LyX will then create two
pipes on startup, one with the extension ".in" and one with the
extension ".out".
2. The JabRef part. Go to Options>Preferences>External Programs and
enter exactly the same thing you did in LyX. So I have
"/home/rgheck/.lyxpipe".
Now restart LyX and JabRef, so the new preferences take effect.
