I have a strange problem. If I run this script:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents*}{\jobname.bib}
@Book{Batty:2007,
author    = {Michael Batty},
title     = {Cities and Complexity},
publisher = {MIT Press},
year      = 2007}
\end{filecontents*}

\begin{document}
This a citation \cite{Batty:2007}

\bibliographystyle{named}
\bibliography{\jobname}
\end{document}

on my laptop, it works perfectly. If I run it on mt PC (with the same OS and same TexMaker version with the same configuration) it shows me this problem:

If I change the bibliography style (e.g. apalike) it works on every computer, but the one I need is \bibliographystyle{named}. Thank you!

  • Welcome to TeX.SX. Try unsrt instead on named. What would named do? – Johannes_B Dec 23 '19 at 18:56
  • Thank you for your answer! I've discovered named in this post: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/262404/square-brackets-in-bibliography-with-apalike-style I was searching for something similar to "apalike". The style I need is:

    [Author, year] and "named" works exactly in this way.

  • The error message says that the bibliography style named.bst is not installed on your PC. If the same code works on your laptop, you must have somehow installed that file there. I have never heard of name.bst, but it appears that you can get the file from CTAN https://www.ctan.org/pkg/named (manually, it doesn't seem to be in TeX live or MikTeX). Note that this named.bst is extremely old and its companion .sty file is a LaTeX 2.09 package (not a LaTeX2e package). – moewe Dec 23 '19 at 21:15
