Hello all, when i try to compile a document with citations i get an empty .bbl file. log is attached. Interestingly it says (Handout.topThis is BibTeX, Version 0.99c (TeX Live 2009), but paths must be set correct because LuaTeX in my minimals folder is working and there is the file: /Applications/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/bibtex. Do i make something wrong best regards Bernhard

Bibtex can be found, but bibtex itself cannot find its input files. It needs to find the cont-no.bst (bibtex style file) and the database Literatur.bib. The problem with the bst file probably comes from a bad or missing settings of BSTINPUTS in texmf.cnf. Here is what is my texmf.cnf: BSTINPUTS = .;$TEXMF/bibtex/{bst,csf}// The problem with the not found Literatur.bib file is something you will have to figure out yourself. There is a texmf.cnf variable for that (BIBINPUTS) but bibtex is able to find bib databases in the current directory without it. Best wishes, Taco
