I couldn't open file name`.blg'
1
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.
My .tex file is as below:
documentclass{article}

bib(la)tex? That mean biblatex with biber engine, biblatex with bibtex engine, or simply bibtex ?? Your MWE is for the classical plain bibtex, not for biblatex. Remove all the auxiliary files and then run the compilation sequence withbibtex testin the second step.

Mar 4 '18 at 12:53
@Fran I'm not sure which of those it is, I am just using the built-in TexMaker BibTex compiler. I have tried deleting the .aux files and re-running the compiler and still have the same issue unfortunately
– insatiableturtle
Mar 4 '18 at 15:24
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) isbibtex %.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.

I had the same problem. I discovered my antivirus blocked Bibtex.exe from accessing my folder. After I unblocked it, it worked.
