[LaTeX] Bus error with 'open -a "$V" "$PDF"' in Typeset and View (PDF) - TextMate

7 Nov 2006


      Hi,
I'm using the latest TextMate version (1.5.4 (v1324)) on Panther 
(10.3.9) with ruby 1.8.5 installed. Texmate works pretty well with some 
minor changes in some snippets.
When pdftex has finished to compile your LaTeX document, the Typeset 
and View (PDF) use the following command
    'open -a "$V" "$PDF"'
However, if your viewer is Adobe\ Reader\ 7.0.8, this command doesn't 
work with the open Panther comand. It is necessary to use the following 
command
    'open -a "$V.app" "$PDF"'
The problem is I have no error message in the Typeset and View window 
because the find_app command find Adobe\ Reader\ 7.0.8, and the open 
command error message is not displayed (open return "Bus error" message 
when I use 'open -a "$V" "$PDF"' in Terminal.app)
Maybe the test ('if find_app >/dev/null "$V.app"; then ... fi') would 
be different or  you can use the find_app output result in $V$.

Arnaud
