No. Just a single .tex file. Like you would do from the command line, but instead from within TextMate using the included latex bundle.

Are you trying to compile a latex project with multiple files? If so you need to set the TM_LATEX_MASTER variable to the apropriate value i think.

I've recently upgraded to a shinny new iMac from my 3 year old powerbook. This has required the re-installation and setup of all my software. I.e. Latex and TextMate, which previously worked seamlessly. Specifically, i downloaded and installed MacTeX. Latex (pdflatex) works fine from the command line. However "Typeset & View" in TextMate returns the following:

Error: Could not open to check for packages

This is most likely a problem with TM_LATEX_MASTER

I'm fully up-to-date (cutting edge) and i have confirmed that all the appropriate paths exist (i.e. to /usr/texbin in /etc/profiles). "pdflatex" is selected in the TextMate latex preferences.

An extensive search of the web provides a lot of solutions (usually related to making sure the path is set correctly), but none work for me.

Any ideas? I'm slightly baffled and have run out of things to try. Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure what you mean that TextMate does not find the files in ~/Library/.... Do you mean when you run the Typeset & View command? What specific error message do you get? Typesetting your file and label completion are two completely separate things.

Do you have multiple versions of latex installed on your computer? It may be that you are not running the MacTeX version?

I use to include various of these files in the preamble of my LaTeX documents. Inspecting the code of the Latex package makes me feel that the files in this folder are ignored? Christoph

I'm not sure what you mean that TextMate does not find the files in ~/Library/....

My preamble looks like

\documentclass[11pt]{article}

\include{abbreviations} \include{paper}

This is definitely a new use case for the ~/Library/texmf/tex/latex directory that I have not considered. I'll add this to my todo list.

Out of curiosity, are abbreviations and paper .tex files or are they .sty files? Why do you use \include rather than \usepackage?

\begin{document}...

and the files paper.tex and abbreviations.tex are located in ~/Library/texmf/tex/latex. When runing "Typeset & View", I get the following warning

Warning: Could not open abbreviations.tex to check for packages

Warning: Could not open paper.tex to check for packages although the document compiles without errors. In the same document, if I hit Alt+ESC inside \ref{}, I get the message "Could not locate any file named 'abbreviation'" as a tooltip.

I think the author of the completions command probably made the same assumptions as I did about ~/Library/texmf/tex/latex

no, I only have MacTex installed and "which pdflatex" yields "/usr/texbin/pdflatex" (in the terminal).

great! As a workaround I shall copy the files from ~/Library/... to the directory where the .tex document is located. Then the problem vanishes.

Yes but if you need a file like "random.tex" /usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/generic/genmisc/random.tex

i think it's not serious to try to change is location.

Why use \include instead \input before \begin{document} ?

...

Out of curiosity, are abbreviations and paper .tex files or are they .sty files? Why do you use \include rather than \usepackage?

These two files only contain some command and environment definitions, which I do not want to copy and paste into each new document. The are .tex files. I thought that using \include (or \input) is the cleanest way of doing this.

...

\usepackage is for a package latex file (.sty ) \input is used for a tex file.

\begin{document}...

and the files paper.tex and abbreviations.tex are located in ~/ Library/texmf/tex/latex. When runing "Typeset & View", I get the following warning

although the document compiles without errors. In the same document, if I hit Alt+ESC inside \ref{}, I get the message "Could not locate any file named 'abbreviation'" as a tooltip.

I think the author of the completions command probably made the same assumptions as I did about ~/Library/texmf/tex/latex

With my remark about completion in the LateXCommandCompletions thread, if you add fileExt = "tex" in the LateXCommandCompletions.rb

#!/usr/bin/env ruby # ##################### # Helper function ##################### def recursiveFileSearch(initialList) extraPathList = [] fileExt="tex"

I think that the problem vanishes.
