When i typeset my document, there is no actual list of figures being put on paper. The .lof file is changed at each try, and also the \listfigurename appears correctly and is possible to format.

Any suggestions?

By "\listfigurename appears correctly" does it mean that you have \listoffigures somewhere in your document and you see the text List of Figures, but with nothing under it? What documentclass are you using? – Werner Aug 17 '11 at 15:38
And of course you used \caption{} inside of \begin{figure}..\end{figure}...? – Martin H Aug 17 '11 at 15:52
Also, don't forget that you have to compile your document twice, without deleting the auxiliary files. – Gonzalo Medina Aug 17 '11 at 16:07
@Werner: Yes to both assumptions. I'm using a modified version of book, but there are no changes to the listoffigures environment in it. @martin-h Yes, of course... @gonzalo-medina I have compiled it more than two times, keeping all files and having no other problems. The document also contains table of contents, BibTeX bibliography, nomenclature list and a list of abbreviations (that all output lists from auxiliary files). – Robert Fransson Aug 18 '11 at 11:58

@Robert: Mmmm, "modified version of book"? The documentclass defines how \listoffigures and \listoftables are typeset. For example, the former explicitly calls \@starttoc{lof} while the latter calls \@starttoc{lot} to typeset everything below the List of... heading. \tableofcontents does exactly the same via \@starttoc{toc}. Perhaps your modified documentclass redefines these. Is your Table of Contents typesetting correctly? If so, compare \tableofcontents with \listoffigures and \listoftables to identify the difference(s). Otherwise, provide more detail. – Werner Aug 18 '11 at 18:29
