LaTeX forum ⇒ General ⇒ Multiply defined labels

[drpartha]

I have a document (book class) which is built using several \input documents. When I compile this book, I get a warning/alert "There were multiply defined labels". What is the least-effort way of locating these "multiply defined labels" ?
Idem "Citation missing" alert ? I will be grateful for any clue.

Hello,

the complete error message contains the name of the duplicate labels. They can also be found in the .aux file.

I happen to use the LaTeX front-end Kile. I tried to compile via the command line, But there are too many alerts/messges. It will mean looking for a needle in the haystack. I guess I will have to explore the aux file carefully, using some text editor. Any better way to explore ?

You can read the .log file to see the warnings and the affected label names.
