glossary does not appear

Question

I've placed

\usepackage{glossaries}
\makeglossaries

just before

\begin{document}

as recommended in my preamble. After the main part of my paper I've placed

\newpage
\printglossaries
\newpage

before

\bibliographystyle{ecta}
\bibliography{references}
\end{document}

But the glossary won't appear. Here is what I do:

1. Run LaTeX to load my document
2. Run BibTex to load my bibliography
3. Run LaTeX to generate citations and references

Before 3. I tried to run MakeIndex but then I got the following message:

Couldn't find input index file MainV2 nor MainV2.idx.
Usage: makeindex [-ilqrcgLT] [-s sty] [-o ind] [-t log] [-p num] [idx0 idx1 ...]

What do I do wrong?

I use TeXShop Version 2.43 on Mac OS 10.7., if that matters.

Answer 1

You need to run

1. Run LaTeX to load my document

2. Run makeglossaries to load my Glossaries

3. Run LaTeX to generate citations and references
