This is how the script looks like right now:

#!/usr/bin/ruby
# This command is meant to be used for quick insertion of your LaTeX  
template files. They should be placed
# in the directory ~/Library/Application Support/LaTeX/Temmlates. A  
pop-up is provided, letting you pick
# the template file you want inserted, and then it gets inserted as a  
snippet. See
# http://macromates.com/textmate/manual/snippets#snippets for what  
this implies.
require ENV['TM_SUPPORT_PATH'] + '/lib/exit_codes.rb'
require ENV['TM_SUPPORT_PATH'] + '/lib/dialog.rb'
require ENV['TM_SUPPORT_PATH'] + '/lib/escape.rb'
path = ENV['HOME'] + '/Library/Application Support/LaTeX/Templates/'
unless FileTest.directory?(path) then
   TextMate.exit_show_tool_tip "You need to create the directory # 
{path} first and\n populate it with your favorite LaTeX template  
files before using this command."
else
   files = `ls "#{path}"`.split("\n")
   TextMate.exit_tool_tip "You need to populate the template  
directory with some template files!" if files.empty?
   file_choice = Dialog.menu(files)
	# Need to fix this exit call here. It should not remove the "temp"  
part.
   TextMate.exit_discard if file_choice.nil?
   print(e_sn(File.read(path + files[file_choice])))
end


As you can see, line 8 is the third of those requires, so I can't see  
how it can fail without the others failing first. Or perhaps it's ENV 
['HOME'] that fails? Anyway, make sure the code looks exactly like  
what I have above.

If you are on IRC, we can probably try to resolve this through the  
#textmate channel.
