The ctags bundle comes with the ctags binary, so you should not need  
to install it separately.

Is the project large? In that case the timeout in the bundle is  
probably to short. Originally it was 15 seconds. A few days ago I  
submitted an update that increased the timeout to 30 seconds, and  
also made it configurable via the TmCtagsTimeout environment variable.

Check the help in the Ctags bundle. If it does not mention  
'TmCtagsTimeout', please update to the latest version from the  
Subversion bundle repository. It may work out of the box, if not, try  
and change the timeout.
