Problem with the driver option

After successfully typesetting my file Book3_new many times, with a fairly extensive bibliography, I have started to add an index, using \usepackage{makeidx} and \makeindex. This worked well for a while, but when the index had developed to a certain point, I got the following error message.

! Package hyperref Error: Wrong DVI mode driver option `dvips',
(hyperref)                because pdfTeX or LuaTeX is running in PDF mode.

If I hit return the typesetting continues, but generates another error message as follows:

(./Header_new.tex) (./Book3_new.aux
! Undefined control sequence.
l.252 \bibcit

Here Book3_new is the name of the rather large file (just over 10000 lines). Book3_new.aux does contain many lines that begin \bibcite; but the file has not been completed, and the last line (line 252, as in the error message) ends \bibcit

Well do you use the dvips option? If you do, don't. – Juri Robl Mar 06 '14 at 17:02
Welcome to TeX.SX! You can have a look at our starter guide to familiarize yourself further with our format. – Corentin Mar 06 '14 at 17:03
@JuriRobl, AFAIU OP's problem is that somehow makeidx is injecting this. Perhaps it needs some nudgning in direction PDF? – vonbrand Mar 06 '14 at 18:56
@vonbrand According to his other question he loads hyperref with dvips. – Juri Robl Mar 07 '14 at 15:14
Has this been resolved? If not, please edit your question and add a short example code that reproduces the problem. – Ian Thompson Aug 10 '14 at 20:54
I have voted to close this question because it cannot be answered in its current form (no MWE). – Ian Thompson May 09 '18 at 15:46
