[Tex/LaTex] Problem with bibtex

bibtex

I do not know what I am doing wrong but I have been stuck for about an hour now trying to get bibtex to work. Here is my latex code

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}

hallo \cite{Saad:2003:IMS:829576}
\bibliographystyle{ieeetr}
\bibliography{bibfile.bib}

\end{document}

and here is my bibtex file

@book{Saad:2003:IMS:829576,
 author = {Saad, Y.},
 title = {Iterative Methods for Sparse Linear Systems},
 year = {2003},
 isbn = {0898715342},
 edition = {2nd},
 publisher = {Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics},
 address = {Philadelphia, PA, USA},
}

Now it is not citing correctly, I do have the bibfile in the right directory. Something strange is happening, I got a citation to work earlier for a different book but not for this one. Now I deleted this other book from the bibfile.bib file but it is still showing up in my bibliography?!?! And like I said I cannot reference Saad's book. I do not know why. I am using Texmaker and everytime I run the bibtex file and then build the pdf but it does not work.

Here is an imgur link to what the output is. I hope someone can help

The book in the reference list is the one I got the citation working for.

Best Answer

(Too long for a comment, hence posted as an answer.)

I encounter no problems if I replace the instruction \bibliography{bibfile.bib} with \bibliography{bibfile}, i.e., if I omit the filename extension.

enter image description here

The bibliography file ('bibfile.bib'):

@book{Saad:2003:IMS:829576,
  author = {Saad, Y.},
  title = {Iterative Methods for Sparse Linear Systems},
  year = {2003},
  isbn = {0898715342},
  edition = {2nd},
  publisher = {Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics},
  address = {Philadelphia PA},
}

The main tex file (say, 'test.tex'):

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\cite{Saad:2003:IMS:829576}
\bibliographystyle{ieeetr}
\bibliography{bibfile}
\end{document}
