When I BibTex compile my test.bib file using TexMaker I get an error that reads:



"I couldn't open file name `test.aux'"



and when I compile my .tex file using the sequence

PdfLatex => Bib(la)tex => PdfLatex (x2)

the Bib(la)tex compile gives the error



"I couldn't open file name `test.blg'"



Having looked through the directory I can't find a .blg or .bbl file for either the .tex file or the .bib file nor have I been able to get produce either of these.

  • Not only the .aux files, but all except the originals the .tex and .bib files. Your MWE works perfectly in my TexMaker. Check that your configuration for "Bib(la)tex" (Now I realize where that misleading expression comes from) is bibtex %.aux. If this fail, then try to compile your example without any editor (in the command line prompt) with the correct compiling sequences of that answer. In this answer is explained the difference among bibtex and biblatex and biber and the correct compiling sequence in each case.
