[OS X TeX] makeidx error

[Mohinish]

Hi
well, I DO use both apacite as well as indexing, and it works.. below 
the beginning of my preamble (this is for my thesis)

-Mohinish

ps: Ah! I see I've left myself a little note down there saying that 
nocite is needed for makeidx :D

(pps: Theres something funny about the subfigure package.. I dunno if 
this is important.)

\documentclass[12pt,twoside]{book}
\usepackage{latexsym,amsfonts}
\usepackage[dvips]{graphicx}
\usepackage{amsmath,amsthm,amssymb} % math stuff, with useful commmands
\usepackage{verbatim}
\usepackage{multirow} % for making tables with multiple rows collapsed 
into 1
\usepackage{rotating} % to try and rotate a table.
\usepackage{tipa}
\usepackage{qtree} % To generate linguistic trees
\usepackage{gb4e}  % For linguistic examples
\usepackage{setspace}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{varioref}
\usepackage{titleref}
\usepackage[it,small]{caption2}
\usepackage{epigraph}
\usepackage[noindex,notocbib]{apacite} % The nocite option is imp. to 
be able to use makeidx to generate an index
\usepackage{makeidx}
\usepackage{dropping} % For dropped caps starting chapters
\makeindex
