I have followed the instructions under the Bibliography section in http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-latex-export.html but after exporting the document to LaTeX, compiling to PDF, and opening the result (with key sequence C-c C-e l o in the latest Org mode) I see a question mark instead of a citation (i.e., [?]) which means that the reference was not resolved by LaTeX. In fact, checking the Org PDF LaTeX Output buffer, I see the following warning: LaTeX Warning: Citation `Tappert77' on page 3 undefined on input line 43. No file org-bib-test.bbl.

For ease of reference, here is the question again:

I am t= rying to get Emacs (24.3.1), Org-mode (8.0.3, from ELPA) and BibTeX (from T= eX Live 2012) to work together. I have followed the instructions under the = Bibliography section in http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-latex-export= .html but after exporting the document to LaTeX, compiling to PDF, and = opening the result (with key sequence C-c C-e l o in the latest Org mode) I= see a question mark instead of a citation (i.e., [?]) which means that the= reference was not resolved by LaTeX. In fact, checking the Org PDF LaTeX O= utput buffer, I see the following warning:

LaTeX Warning: Citation `Tappert77' on page 3 undefined on input li= ne 43.

No file org-bib-test.bbl.
[3] (.//org-bib-test.aux)
LaTeX Warning: There were undefined references.

It looked to me th= at probably Org-mode was looking for a .bib file with the same base name as= the .org file but renaming the .bib file and updating the \bibliography li= ne did not solve the problem.

Here are two minimal .org and .bib files that together can be used to r= eproduce the behavior described above:

org-bib-test.org

* Tests
** Test1 slide
=A0 =A0- Th= is is test1 \cite{Tappert77}.

\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{org-bib-test-refs}

Th= e following, using #+LATEX_HEADER, gives the same result:

org-bib-test.org

#+LATEX_HEADER: \bibl= iographystyle{plain}
#+LATEX_HEADER: \bibliography{org-bib-test-refs}

* Tests
** Test1= slide
=A0 =A0- This is test1 \cite{Tappert77}.

org-bib-test-refs= .bib
