Hi,

It seems an old error is back. When starting TextMate with the mate shell command from within a 'screen' session you get "failed to establish connection with TextMate".

This was commented on: http://blog.macromates.com/2007/leopard-issues/ http://northstarlabs.net/2007/11/textmate-on-leopard-command-line-tool-fix/

Using the 'screen' utility from MacPorts used to fix this.

It looks like there is a problem with the current version of screen in MacPorts (4.0.3_3) which brings this error back: https://trac.macports.org/ticket/18235

Until this is fixed in MacPorts the solution seems to be reverting back to version 4.0.3_1 in MacPorts. Instructions about how to install older package versions in MacPorts can be found here: http://journal.bitshaker.com/articles/2007/10/20/install-old-versions-of-por...

Hint: The SVN revision for 4.0.3_1 is 45522. (http://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/sysutils/screen/Portfile?rev=4...) So the SVN command according to the instructions mentioned above would be: svn co --revision 45522 http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/trunk/dports/sysutils/screen/ sysutils/screen/

It worked for me.

Hope this helps if anybody runs into this issue.
