Hi Alan,
I commented out the chapterbib package and included the bibunits
package (from your earlier post) and included the following after the
chapter call in the root document for eg.
...
\include{chapter1/intro}
\begin{bibunit}[IEEEtran]
\putbib[c1references]
\end{bibunit}

\include{chapter2/background}
...
However I get the same problem as I had before with the "?". I do have
pdflatexmk installed and my .bib files are all in
~/Library/texmf/bibtex/bib which the pdflatexmk engine should be aware
of. when I use chapterbib instead of bibunits it seems to be find the
.bib files just fine.

I tried putting the following code at the end of  the individual
chapter .tex file itself and running the root document (CTRL-T) as
before but i get compilation errors.
\begin{bibunit}[IEEEtran]
\putbib[c1references]
\end{bibunit}

Not sure why this is happening..
Thanks,
Anand
