I have installed MacTex on my macbook running OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2).

However, BibTeX is not able to find abbrvnat.bst (see the output of bibtex below). I checked /usr/local/texlive/2012/texmf-dist/bibtex/bst/natbib/ and abbrvnat.bst is present in that directory.

Output of BibTeX:

I couldn't open style file abbrvnat.bst
---line 33 of file file_name.aux
: \bibstyle{abbrvnat
:                   }
I'm skipping whatever remains of this command
I found no style file---while reading file file_name.aux
(There were 2 error messages)

Solution:

It seems I have multiple versions of LaTeX installed on my systems. Using /usr/local/texlive/2012/bin/x86_64-darwin/latex and /usr/local/texlive/2012/bin/x86_64-darwin/bibtex solved this problem!
