[Vim-latex-devel] bibtex problem

[Marino <mar...@ya...>]

Hi all,

I am having a problem with running bibtex. First of
all, I am fairly new to latex-suite, so I may have
overlooked some simple settings in order to make
bibtex work in my case.

System:
-------
Win2K
gvim 6.3
grep (GNU grep) 2.5.1
latexSuite-1.5 (from latexSuite-1.5.tar.gz)
latest MiKTeX (30-Nov-2004, MiKTeX update wizard)

Problem:
--------
Whenever I try to run bibtex with the standard
settings of latexSuite I get a command windows which
tries to run bibtex, but simply halts and does
nothing. I first set the compiler target to be bibtex:
  :TCTarget bib
Then when I start the compiler I get a command window
which shows: 
  C:\WIN2K\system32\cmd.exe /c bibtex main.tex
FILENAME 2>&1
where FILENAME is some temporarily file (VIe3E.tmp in
my personal Win2K TEMP directory), and then does
nothing.

When I try to do the same as latex-suite does I get
the following error from bibtex:
C:\somedir> C:\WIN2K\system32\cmd.exe /c bibtex
main.tex
I couldn't open file name `main.tex.aux'
Please type input file name (no extension)--

So it seems that bibtex expects the filename without
any extension. My solution was to alter the value of
the variable 'g:Tex_CompileRule_bib' in my texrc file:
  let g:Tex_CompileRule_bib = 'bibtex %:p:t:r $*'

I am still left with the desire to have bibtex
automatically use the main file name for generating
the bibliography when I have an empty file
'main.tex.latexmain' in my directory, as I normally
have my '\bibliography{references}' and
'\bibliographystyle{amsplain}' in my 'main.tex' file.
Anyone?

Thanks in advance.
