I'm sure this is an amateur problem, but I can't seem to get my BibTeX bibliography to compile using pdfLaTeX. It worked before when I did Latex->DVI->PDF, but then I had to add some syntactic trees using tikz-qtree, which requires the document be compiled with pdfLaTeX. Now the bibliography doesn't compile. In the main document, I get a TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [parameter stack size=10000] error. In the MWE, no errors come back, but only "References" appears in the PDF. I'm thinking I may be missing a package in the preamble, or one of the other packages in my thesis (tikz, tikz-qtree, expex, tipa, mathtools, caption) may be causing the conflict. Deleting the .aux file, etc., and recompiling hasn't worked either. There are a few url links in the .bib file.
I should note that when I usually compile my bibliography using BibTeX I use the LaTeX->DVI->PDF method rather than pdfLaTeX and it usually works fine.
Using Kile on Ubuntu 11.10.

\usepackage{tikz}gives no problem. – Andrew Swann Aug 20 '12 at 11:23bibtexcreat a file.bbl? If so, this file should contain the whole bibliography and it certainly should not be empty. – yo' Aug 20 '12 at 12:38it is blank.

– khelke Aug 20 '12 at 13:40.bibfile, however). I don't havetikz-qtreeorexpexto test with, however. Loading the other packages you mentioned doesn't change anything. I don't usekileeither; have you tried doing this from the command line, and with all auxiliary files deleted? – jon Aug 20 '12 at 15:12.logsay? Does the error recur if you delete any of the above packages? Have you checked which packages you are loading by adding\listfilesto the preamble (and looking at the.log)? It seems as though no one will be able to reproduce this problem, so you need to take extra troubleshooting steps, and report back here with further information. What if you use a different.bibfile? It could be the.texor.bibfile has some funky encoding issues that may be making eitherpdflatexand/or your editor choke. – jon Aug 22 '12 at 00:27
