Problems with org-bibtex

Problems with org-bibtex

Hi there,

I have decided to give org-bibtex a try. I have loaded it in my .emacs
file, but whenever I copy a bibtex entry and try to use org-bibtex-yank I
get the following error

Symbol's function definition is void: bibtex-beginning-of-entry

Could someone tell me what this mean and how to fix it.

Thanks
M

Whenever you get an error, do

    M-x toggle-debug-on-error

and post the *Backtrace* buffer.

I am still surprised why (even) regulars in this list fail to do it.

Sorry about that, I agree I should know better.

Here is the Backtrace that I got,

Hi,

I was just trying the same thing (prompted by the recent discussion).
It turned out I had to

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (bibtex-set-dialect)
#+end_src

first.

Regards,
Sean

I have found that opening a (any) bibtex file fixes this for the session. I
have no idea why though.

Hi Chris,
That didn't work either.

When I did
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (bibtex-set-dialect)
#+end_src

I got the following error
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-function bibtex-set-dialect)
  (bibtex-set-dialect)
  (progn (bibtex-set-dialect))

Try
        (require 'bibtex)

That should have been done automatically (e.g. when you load org-bibtex) but it seems to
not have been, for unknown reasons.

Hi there,

I found the bug.

It turned out that an old copy of bibtex.el was the culprit, deleting this
fixed  the problem.
Thanks again for all your help.
Cheers,
M
