# Getting “You have to run LaTeX again to get the references right ” over and over again

on Ubuntu 10.04 with Emacs 23.1.1 and TexLive, writing a book (scrbook) spread over different files, I have the following problem: Doing C-c C-c in Emacs (the usual cycle LaTeX BibTeX LaTeX LaTeX) I get "You have to run LaTeX again to get the references right" over and over again, although pdfLaTeX writes the files and there are apparently no references missing in the pdf ( a search for "??" gave 0 results).

Before telling the whole story I would like to ask If anybody experienced this problem before, because I could not find any reports. Is diagnosis and treatment of similar cases available somwhere?

Can you try to create a MWE (Minimal working example)? Please avoid telling the "whole" story, but rather do some preliminary work: Copy the files to a separate directory, add the files into the main file and check if it still happens. Start removing parts of the file as long as the problem is still happening...once you can reproduce the problem with a file that only contains relevant code, and the problem still persists, post it here....more likely, you'll find the problem in the meantime...but if not, by all means, post it here... –  Yossi Farjoun Nov 15 '10 at 15:52
