Following the instructions from Haris Skiadas below results in:
"which pdflatex" returns nothing!
"echo $PATH" returns:
/Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/bin/CocoaDialog.ap p/Contents/MacOS:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/Applications/TextMate.app/Co ntents/SharedSupport/Support/bin
When I type "which pdflatex" into terminal it also returns nothing, but I can go to /usr/texbin and see pdflatex. Trying to run pdflatex from terminal results in command not found, but it runs (from usr/texbin) in TexShop.
Now I'm really confused. It appears that the files are there (re-installed with a new download of MacTex after this problem started - which hasn't fixed the problem) but somehow hidden from the system, but not from TexShop?
Any thoughts much appreciated.
Thanks
Ben

Hi James
Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately it still says "pdflatex not found". I've googled myself into utter confusion trying to find out what I should put in the environment.plist file, but nothing has come close to working.
The real question is why did it stop working in the first place and how can it be fixed at the bundle level?
What happens if you open a new plain document in textmate, and type the following:
which pdflatex which kpsewhich echo $PATH
and then move to each row and press ctrl-R? I get:
which pdflatex /usr/texbin/pdflatex which kpsewhich /usr/texbin/kpsewhich echo $PATH /Users/haris/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Support/bin/ CocoaDialog.app/Contents/MacOS:/usr/local/mysql/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/ bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/texbin:/Users/haris/Library/ Application Support/TextMate/Support/bin
If you get something different in the first two options, then what do you get from the same commands executed in the terminal? And also, how and from where did you install/update your latex installation? Did you use MacTeX?

Hi,
I had a similar problem a couple of days ago, and fixed it by creating the file environment.plist in a folder named .MacOSX in my home directory, with the following contents:
{ PATH = "/sw/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin"; }
I think it required a logout/in (or possibly a restart).
Hope this helps,
James

Hi all,
I've enjoyed using TextMate a great deal and don't want to use the other Latex editors on my computer, but:
- after updating to Leopard all was okay
- I installed the latex Leopard fix and...
- TextMate doesn't find pdflatex and suggests that the path is not
there or Latex isn't installed
- I know that Latex is installed because Texshop continues to find
it and run it happily
- I've updated (via a complete re-install of Mactex) Latex, but it
still isn't found by Textmate and is by Texshop
- I've looked at the manual and see that I should update/modify the
path, but I'm not sure where to and how to update it.
Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated,
Thanks
Ben
