Bibliography is not printed using Kile on Ubuntu

After running bibtex command, I encountered an error message as follows:

This is BibTeX, Version 0.99c (TeX Live 2009/Debian) The top-level auxiliary file: rr6.aux I couldn't open style file IEEEtran.bst ---line 4 of file rr6.aux : \bibstyle{IEEEtran : } I'm skipping whatever remains of this command I found no style file---while reading file rr6.aux 

This gave a clue to me, I was thinking there might be some missing packages..and after trying to search for "IEEEtran" keyword in the synaptic manager, I found "texlive-publishers" that could be related. After installing it, it turned out that it is again working :-)

Credit should go to Marco for guiding me to fix this. He has provided a very good troubleshooting procedure :-)


I had the same problem. Uninstalled and installed "texlive-publishers" as suggested above, and now the whole thing stopped to work! Most of my packages and fonts were removed and weren't re-installed. I had to spend 2 hours to see what is missing (texlive-extra packages, texlive recommended fonts, etc) to reset to the previous installation. Now I am back to something like the previous installation, but the error is still there : "I couln't open style file IEEEtr.bst". I changed the style file name to IEEEtran, called IEEEtran, and removed manually .aux file and it worked.
