Try typing "which ruby" and press ctrl+r. TextMate should show you the path to the binary it's trying to run. There should be one in / usr/bin. If you want to run the one in /usr/local/bin, you may need to set a "TM_RUBY' environment variable in TM's preferences (under the "Advanced" page, "Shell Variables" tab). My guess is that TM doesn't know about the one under /usr/local/bin and you've altered permissions to the one in /usr/bin to prevent it from running. Use ctrl+r on "echo $PATH" to see the PATH as TM sees it.

How does Textmate use ruby (or how does it invoke it)?

I've got the 1.8.5 binary installed in /usr/local/bin/ and that's definitely executable by me.

Thanks - Jordan

It sounds like your ruby binary isn't executable by you.

As of late, anytime I use most any of the bundles items in TextMate I get the following as output: "env: ruby: Permission denied".

I'm running the latest version of TextMate(r1324) on 10.3.9 and  

haven't done anything wild and crazy to my ruby installation except update it to 1.8.5 from the install that comes with 10.3.

   I've tried setting a shell variable in TextMate for the  

proper path to ruby and mucking around with the permissions and ownership of ruby to no avail.

Does anyone have any idea what I've managed to break?
