Couldn't find svn error TextMate

Textmate is probably the best Rails Development tool I have used to date. It is simple, light weight, extendible, and powerful. SVN is the current standard in version control. Well it only makes sense when working remotely to be able to svn+ssh straight out of textmate.

I went digging through my bundles, found the Subversion bundle. It was conveniently located in the S’s as the bundles are in alphabetical order. I click checkout and up pop this lovely error message! “Couldn’t find SVN”.

Well first I installed SVN. It is easily found from a quick Google search. It installed quite easily. I then go launch Textmate again, and still no dice. After running through everything I could think of and giving up totally, I somehow figured out to do this.

open a terminal and type cd /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib then vi bash_init.sh

now scroll on down to where you see a line like # First read the system-wide profile [ -f /etc/profile ] && . /etc/profile &>/dev/null and below it paste [ -f /etc/profile ] && . /etc/profile [ -f ~/.bashrc ] && . ~/.bashrc

export PATH=”$HOME/bin:/opt/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:$PATH”

that now restart and you should be good to go. Thanks for reading and later guys.

Read/Write Access to NTFS filesystem on a Mac

I recently had a Parallels virtual machine that wouldn’t start. It kept telling me that I had broken .dll’s. In order to fix my broken Windows installation in my Parallels file, I figured I only needed to mount the Windows NTFS installation. I had plenty of surprises waiting on me.
