Are you using a different shell than bash?

If bash is your login shell:

  • did you launch TextMate anew after you changed ~/.profile?

  • is the behaviour different when you log off and in again?


If bash is not your login shell, then you should make the change to  
~/.login. And also try to re-launch TextMate and log off and in  
again. Some applications do not re-read initialisation files when  
they change, some take their run time environment from Mac OS X which  
is established only once – at login time.

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something  
completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete  
fools.
