Re: Problem with the nomencl package

I am trying to use the nomencl package. I am following an excellent

Use better the actual version of the documentation. In miktex you
get it with

mthelp nomencl


However, I can't for the life of me get even the most basic example
working despite the document building with no errors. This is the
basic example:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{nomencl}
\makenomenclature
\begin{document}
\section*{Main equations}
\begin{equation}
a=\frac{N}{A}
\end{equation}%
\nomenclature{$a$}{The number of angels per unit area}%
\nomenclature{$N$}{The number of angels per needle point}%
\nomenclature{$A$}{The area of the needle point}%
The equation $\sigma = m a$%
\nomenclature{$\sigma$}{The total mass of angels per unit area}%
\nomenclature{$m$}{The mass of one angel}
follows easily.
\printnomenclature
\end{document}

When I build this document (using TexnicCenter and MikTex 2.7), I get
a page with the equations and text. There are no errors or warnings
shown and it even creates an ".nlo" file with the correct information
inside. But no nomenclature.

Can anyone think of anything I have missed or should try?

You probably didn't call makeindex.

makeindex filename.nlo -s nomencl.ist -o filename.nls
