Latex

Anyway - I'm using texmaker and two example files I found on the web and I'm not having any luck.  I'm hoping I'm doing something silly that I'm just not seeing.

Depends on the style file used.  Some use different ways of doing the
bibliography.  For example, if you're using bibtex, you need to run
latex multiple times:
$ latex myarticle
$ bibtex myarticle
$ latex myarticle
$ latex myarticle

The trick is that the .aux file needs to get built up; it needs the
multiple passes to resolve all the references.  The .log and .aux files
are actually important to subsequent runs of latex.

HTH,
Matt
