My Mac Mini is configured to use Skim as the PDF viewer called from Textmate's LaTeX bundle, however I still view compiled .PDF files inside Textmate. I need help configuring Textmate so that it will automatically launch Skim.

Intel Mac Mini
OS X: 10.4.10

Textmate version: 1.5.7 (1436)
I have the following Textmate environment variables set in Preferences->Advanced->Shell Variables:
TM_LATEX_ERRLVL 1
TM_LATEX_COMPILER latexmk.pl
TM_LATEX_VIEWER Skim

Bill,

As of version 1414 or somewhere around there the LaTeX bundle stopped using those environment variables. Bring up the preferences dialog from the bundle menu or opt-cmd-period, or by clicking on the preferences button in the Typeset & View menu.

This will allow you to configure the bundle the way you want it again.

Skim Version: 0.9.3 (v15)
Skim has Prefereces->Sync "Check for file changes" checked and the Preset set to "Textmate".

I am using fink's LaTeX distribution.

Skim works. It is my default .PDF viewer in Finder. I can use it to open and view .PDF files.

If I successfully compile a LaTeX document in Textmate using apple-R, the compiled .PDF file appears in the "Typeset and View" window owned by Textmate instead of a Skim process.

I have another computer, a Mac Book, that as far as I can tell is configured identically. On this machine, Textmate launches Skim as its .PDF viewer as expected.

I'm out of ideas on how to debug this. Any suggestions?

Thanks for any help.
