Can you supply us with a minimal example that causes your issue?

Do you happen to load any of these packages?

['pstricks' , 'xyling' , 'pst-asr' , 'OTtablx' , 'epsfig' ]

Does your file have a %!TEX directive?

Have you set the TM_LATEX shell variable set in either the TextMate
preferences, or the Project specific variables?

Hopefully these will help us narrow down the source of your difficulty.
