    copied!<p>I can't create new files from within Textmate. I'm not sure why it's doing this or how to go about fixing it.</p> <p>I recently changed the "Shell Variables" because certain functions weren't working like the "Comment Line" ⌘/, and other stuff. It would say something like </p> <pre><code>env: ruby: no such file or directory </code></pre> <p>Ruby 1.8 is installed in <code>/opt/local/bin/ruby</code>. I recently installed Ruby 1.9 through RVM, but I was just following directions and don't know where it is installed, or if it is even being used.</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/fy2ZQ.png" alt="Here is what my Shell Variables currently look like"></p> <p>I don't really know much about path dependencies and such. I searched for "<code>ruby</code>" in the Finder and there are 16 folders titled "ruby" or "Ruby", but they all stem from that original path <code>/opt/local/bin/ruby</code>. What should I do to get Textmate working again? Is it something to do with where I have Ruby installed?</p> <p>I followed the instructions on "<a href="http://michaelfarmer.info/blog-101" rel="nofollow noreferrer">TextMate 'env: ruby: No such file or directory'</a>" when trying to fix the "Comment Selection" function in TextMate.</p> <hr> <p>UPDATE:</p> <p>I just found on the "<a href="http://wiki.macromates.com/Troubleshooting/TextMateAndThePath" rel="nofollow noreferrer">TextMateAndThePath</a>" page on Textmate's help wiki that</p> <blockquote> <p>There can be many files named ruby on the system, but only one file can exist at the path /usr/bin/ruby</p> </blockquote> <p>When I run <code>type ruby</code> at the command line, it returns two <code>/opt/local/bin/ruby</code> paths. Is this what is breaking Textmate, and if so what can I do about it?</p>
