Hi,
I am new to textmate and bibdesk. I am not able to format citations. I can follow the tutorials but if I try to cite from bibliography completion I get
\cite{sh: line 1: /usr/local/teTeX/bin/i386-apple-darwin8.3.1/kpsewhich: cannot execute binary file sh: line 1: /usr/local/teTeX/bin/i386-apple-darwin8.3.1/kpsewhich: cannot execute binary file Ng1}
I am using a PowerPC G4, with os x 10.4.8 and textmate 1.5.4.
I have found some suggested workarounds by Özgür Gökmen... But unfortunately don't understand what I should be changing or where to find some of the files I need to change.
If anyone has had similar problems and can point me in the direction to solving this error I would greatly appreciate it.

This problem has nothing to do with BibDesk. TextMate's default Bibliography completion doesn't even use BibDesk, it accesses the bib file directly . Sounds though like you are running an old version of TM ( mine is 1.5.4 (1360), note the 1360 there ). I would suggest switching updates to "cutting edge", and then update.
There was an error some time ago in the way that the bibliography command was trying to locate kpsewhich, which is exactly your problem here. Even though you are on a power-pc, you have both powerpc and intel binaries, and the old method was essentially locating the ones that were coming first alphabetically (terrible, I know).
The new, "cutting edge", version should not have this problem. You can also instead start using the subversion repository version of the bundles (See the "Getting More Bundles" section of TextMate's help for more).

Thank you Haris, I have enjoyed your tutorials! This may be an even stranger question but on http://macromates.com/ I only see version 1.5.4 (r1324) which is what I have. Is there another location to find and download the most recent 1.5.4 (1360)? My apologies on probably making a simple issue difficult.

Go to:
TextMate > Preferences > Software Update
Turn "Automatically Check for Updates" on. Select "Cutting-Edge" in the "Wath for:" drop down. Turn "Download in the Background" on.
Hope that helps, -steve

From within TextMate, go to File -> Preferences, and to the Software Update tab. There, switch the "Watch For:" field to Cutting-Edge and click on "Check Now". Then TM will offer to download the new version on the background, and relaunch itself once it's installed it. Better save your open documents first, though it will warn you about them anyway.
