It returns an empty line.

I've got 30 years of programming experience.  If I'm having this much trouble after following the directions in 5.7 and especially 5.7.4 to the letter, how do less experienced people deal with these problems?

Why doesn't Textmate simply set these preferences out of the box and run without this much fiddling.   AquaEmacs works without anything special.  SlickEdit works without anything special.  XCode works out of the box.  Why is TextMate so fiddly?

Hans tells me that you've tried this and TM_SUPPORT_PATH shows / 
Library/Application Support/TextMate/Support.

What does:

ruby -e 'File.exists?(ENV["TM_SUPPORT_PATH"] +
"/lib/tm/executor.rb")'

followed by CTRL+R
 show?
