I am trying to start a basic tex document with bibtex citations as follows:



documentclass{article}

usepackage[backend=bibtex]{biblatex}
bibliography{biblo}

begin{document}
printbibliography
end{document}


However, when I run pdflatex mytexfile.tex I receive the error that abx@aux@sortscheme is undefined. How can I resolve this?

  • The syntax should be addbibresource{biblo.bib}.

    I think this error occurs after having changed some options to biblatex or removing the inclusion itself, then recompiling --> there is some code left in .aux file. Try to remove the aux-file

  • @Bernard: Yes, but bibliography{biblo} still works (however not recommended)

The reported error abx@aux@sortscheme being undefined is a consequence of changing options to biblatex or having removed the usepackage[...]{biblatex} entry followed by recompilation.



@aux indicates that this setting is written to the .aux file, after changing or removing this entry is still left in the .aux file and causes the error message during the next run.



Solution: Delete the .aux file and recompile.



A similar error occurs when changing language options from babel.



Side note: bibliography is a deprecated command in conjunction with biblatex -- use addbibresource instead.
