 Try adding that directory (probably better with its real name, i.e.,
not using the tilde, but /Users/whatever/Development/Ruby/bin/) to your
PATH variable inside TextMate's Preferences/Advanced/Shell Variables
tab, in front of whatever you already have. If there is no entry yet,
use whatever “echo $PATH” says inside a terminal session where your ri
command works.

 Right. Don't forget to include the directories including
/Applications/TextMate.app/ into whatever new PATH definition you set.
