Hi!
I've installed MacTex 2008 some days ago and switched finally from pdftex to xelatex. On friday I still compiled files successfully, today I get only a
Error: xelatex is not found, you need to install LaTeX or be sure that your PATH is setup properly.
sh: line 0: type: xelatex: not found
When I run from TextMate "which xelatex" it gives me: /usr/texbin/xelatex In Terminal the same, command completion in Terminal works fine as well. Compiling the file in Terminal works as well.
I'm working with TM 1.5.7 (1464) and a recent SVN-checkout.
Does anyone have an idea what the problem could be and how to fix it?
Niels
Hi Niels,
just noticed no one had replied to this...
Error: xelatex is not found, you need to install LaTeX or be sure that your PATH is setup properly.

The PATH as set in a terminal window is not the PATH that TextMate sees. You can see what PATH is available in TextMate by entering
printenv PATH
and then (with the cursor on that line) hitting control-R. I imagine that you'll find "/usr/texbin" is *not* in the resulting list, so you need to get it in there. Section 8.2 of the TextMate manual covers how to do this...

Good luck, Paul

It is there:

TextMate commands are moving away from sourcing the file “bash_init.sh” which also sources .profile, thus your path variable is not initialized in the same way the shell. From terminal you can `echo $PATH` and copy the result to the environment variables section of TextMate's preferences.

Where is this mentioned preference in the preferences? I can only find the "Shell Variables" -- if this is what you mean, what variable is it? TM_BASH_something? And the value is the path? Or is it somewhere else?

Yes, in the shell variables tab you have to add the PATH variable.
