LaTeX and TextMate
If you can’t start Tex tools directly from the TextMate “Please add the directory containing kpsewhich to PATH in TextMate’s Shell Variables preferences” try setting following TextMate -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Shell Variables -> PATH add /usr/texbin at the beginning of PATH. This should solve the issue.
