Hi,

I just noticed that when trying to insert a citation in latex via ALT +ESC in the latex bundle, this warning occurs.

/Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/ui.rb: 177: warning: Insecure world writable dir /usr/local in PATH, mode 040777

What does this mean? Certainly I didn't set any permissions manually. I'm a little confused, the Finder says /usr/bin is 755.

You show the permissions of /usr/bin but the error is reporting /usr/ local

Those permissions are Apples 'extended' attributes. At a command line type "xattr -h" to get some info on how to set/delete those attributes. You might want to do some research on what the attributes are for before you go and change them, here's a start: <URL:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_file_attributes
