Abbie -- I don't think that will cause a problem. That likely means that your PATH environment variable includes "/usr/texbin/" instead of "/usr/texbin". You can type:
echo $PATH at a shell prompt to verify. In fact, typing: :!echo $PATH in vim will tell you what Vim sees as its path. Check to see if "/usr/texbin" is followed by a slash. If it is, find where it's being set. It could be set in a global profile (e.g., /etc/profile or /etc/bash_profile or /etc/bashrc) or in a user profile (e.g., /etc/.bash_profile or /etc/.bashrc) or in a script included from one of those. I don't recall how TeXLive for the Mac organizes itself. I do recommend you try going to MacVim->Preferences and look for a setting to "Run in login shell" or something like that. I don't recall the actual wording (the vim-mac mailing list would be a good place to check), but there is a setting in MacVim preferences that forces all shells to be run as login shells to ensure that the same PATH that gets set when you login is used within Vim. One more thing to try.. execute :!bibtex inside vim. In fact, you can execute :!bibtex %:r inside vim to run bibtex on the TeX file you're working on at the time (and you can make a macro that runs that for you). Either way, does bibtex return an error from the shell about not being found, or does it run? --Ted On 07/01/2010 04:01 PM, Abbie Kressner wrote: > I am using MacVim, and :!which bibtex produces the following: > > /usr/texbin//bibtex > > This looks to be my problem since I think it should be > /usr/texbin/bibtex.
