Re: bibunits package gives errors

Hey, Mike. 

I have switched to biblatex and biber for my CV. 

Setup is as follows:

\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage[style=numeric,maxnames=30%
,sorting=none,hyperref=true,labelnumber=true%
,backend=biber,bibencoding=inputenc%=UTF-8
]{biblatex}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\providecommand{\maxprtauth}{25}
\bibliography{c:/homet/reference/fmaster}

For each section of the CV, I bring in the references from an external file (to allow for different setups)
\begin{refsection}
\input content/refbt
\printbibliography
\end{refsection}

In the case of refbt.tex shown above, the file contains entries like
\nocite{Medlin-1980-01}%        2012-11-07   % Evaluator rating of unit performance in field exercizes: A multidimensional
\nocite{Thompson-1983-45}%      2012-04-30   % Some missing data patterns for multidimensional scaling
\nocite{Thompson-1983-50}%      2012-04-30   % {PROC PROX}: {A} {SAS} program which calculates several types of
\nocite{Milligan-1985-202}%     2012-04-30   % An algorithm for testing the robustness properties of two-way nonorthogonal

The entry lines contain the citation, the date of addition (to this modified approach), and the topic.

I actually store the references in a canonical reference file with numbers indicating the type of reference. I have a little Perl program which reads in the references and puts them into different final files. 

I actually produce the CV using a little .bat program to properly sequence the pdflatex and biber commands.

Subject: [MiKTeX] bibunits package gives errors

I'm using bibunits in a number of documents on both Windows (MiKTeX 2.9) and Ubuntu, and keep getting the same set of errors:

...
(C:\Users\friendly\Dropbox\Documents\grants\form100-13.1.aux)
(C:\Users\friendly\Dropbox\Documents\grants\form100-13.1.bbl

! LaTeX Error: \section *undefined.

See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type  H <return>  for immediate help.
  ...

l.2 \begin{thebibliography}{10}

? r
Pressing r for nonstop mode lets the document compile, but is annoying.  Does anyone have an idea why this occurs or how to fix it?

A typical bibunit section in my files looks like this:

% preamble stuff
% bibunit stuff
\usepackage{bibunits}
\bibliographystyle{myunsrt-url1}
\bibliography{vita}
\newcommand{\bibunitstyle}{myunsrt}

\makeatletter
\renewcommand{\@bibunitname}{\jobname.\the\@bibunitauxcnt}
%\newcounter{bibunititem}[@bibunitauxcnt]
\makeatother

  ...

\subsection{Software contributions}\label{sec:software} % .4
  \begin{bibunit}[\bibunitstyle]
	\nocite{candisc}
	\nocite{gellipsoid}
	\nocite{genridge}
	\nocite{Guerry}
	\nocite{heplots}
	\nocite{HistData}
	\nocite{Lahman}
	\nocite{mvinfluence}
	\nocite{p3ddev}
	\nocite{tableplot}
	\nocite{vcdExtra}
	\nocite{WordPools}
\putbib[Rpackages]
\end{bibunit}
