Re: refdbib and bibtex

Hi,

[email protected] was heard to say:

> Could not set terminal attributes

This is most likely caused by a missing password in your ~/.refdbibrc. runbib
calls refdbib as part of a pipe, and if there is no password specified, or a
"*"  instead of a password, refdbib tries to ask for a password interactively.
This fails because data are sent through stdin. Please enter your password into
~/.refdbibrc, or add an empty entry like:

passwd

as you seem to run sqlite which does not require a password anyway.

It seems like the style "bibtex-abbrev" has not been added to the refdb
database. Please look at the manual section describing the addstyle command,
and add all styles installed in /usr/local/share/refdb/styles to the database.

NB the refdb-init script which ships with the latest version should add these
styles automatically.

regards,
Markus
