[TxMt] Latex bundle - typeset and view failing to find errors, and "the document *.pdf could not be opened"

[Brad Miller]

Toby,

Unless your error message is something really non-standard it should  
be caught and highlighted.  But from what you are saying it just  
sounds like your Latex bundle is broken.  Here are a couple of things  
to check:

Look in  ~/Library/Application Support/Textmate/Bundles  and Pristine  
Copy to see if you have some local modifications to the bundle.  If  
you do make a backup copy of them elsewhere and then delete them from  
the ~/Library/Application Support/...  directory.

Because the Latex bundle is built-in I don't think that using  
GetBundle is going to help you.  To get the very latest version of the  
LaTeX bundle you will need to use subversion and check it out from the  
repository.  I don't think that is necessary in this case since the  
things you mentioned should all work just fine with the version in  
TextMate 1436.

Note, if the error message that are not getting caught are really out  
of the ordinary please copy and them from the log and email them to me  
so I can fix the matching rules add them to my test cases.
