Thanks for your input!

So that "! Package footbib Error: the output routine of LaTeX
changed." seem to be a problem, which is present in footbib from
2004, but not in the version from 2007. No clue, why the new version
didn't make it into TL 2009, I guess it was uploaded to CTAN very
late (beginning 2010).

I had a short look at the doc of the package. The package works like
ordinary bibtex, i.e. you need a bibtex database, bibtex style file
etc.

Here is a minimal example how to use the package:

<example.tex>
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{footbib}

\begin{document}

Previous work~\footcite{Winkler89}

\footbibliography{example}
\footbibliographystyle{plain}

\end{document}
</example.tex>

<example.bib>
@incollection{Winkler89,
  AUTHOR = {F. Winkler},
  TITLE = {Equational Theorem Proving and Rewrite Rule Systems},
  YEAR = 1989,
  BOOKTITLE = {5. \"Osterreichische Artificial-Intelligence-Tagung},
  EDITOR = {J. Retti and K. Leidlmair},
  PUBLISHER = {Springer},
  ADDRESS = {Berlin, Heidelberg},
  PAGES = {26-39},
  KEYWORDS = {}}
</example>

First you run LaTeX, then you run bibtex and finally again LaTeX as
described. BibTeX database for books can be found on the net.

I'm tagging your bug as fixed in upstream as one need a new version
of the package, the old is unusable at least with modern LaTeX.
