I installed ruby 1.8.5 and appscript on my mac (and it is hugely better that the schizolanguage of AppleScript).
Now if I define a command in TextMate like
#!/usr/bin/env ruby require "appscript" include Appscript te = app('TextEdit')
TextMate complains it (he) cannot find appscript.rb (no use to give the explicit path since then TextMate cannot find the files require'd inside appscript, etc etc).
Clearly, I must set new paths, but how? and maybe I should also tell TextMate to use 1.8.5 instead of 1.8.2 I'm sure this is easy but have no idea how to do it. Any help?
Thanks a lot, Piero

Where did you install ruby 1.8.5? Make sure that's in your PATH. "ruby -v" in Terminal should say 1.8.5 if it is.

paths and gui applications are a bit complex, if you aren't using bash, textmate won't absorb your path environment variable without defining it in ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist. for more info: http://macromates.com/textmate/manual/shell_commands
cheers, jean-pierre
Did you install appscript as a gem? If so you may need to add:
export RUBYOPT=rubygems
to your .bashrc, or .bash-login, or whatever.

For new threads USE THIS: textmate@lists.macromates.com (threading gets destroyed and the universe will collapse if you don't) http://lists.macromates.com/mailman/listinfo/textmate
Thanks all, problem solved. Jean-Pierre was right, the problem is explained in TextMate's manual. A shebang command (like a ruby command) in TextMate does not read the path set in .bash_profile but relies on the path for GUI's which is set in ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist
So I opened this file and shifted at the beginning of the path the "/usr/local/bin" piece, and now everything works. Btw, appscript is great.
This is maybe the third time I fall into this trap...
Thanks a lot Piero
