I'm using LaTeX pdfTeX 3.1415926-1.40.9-2.2 on Mac OSX 10.6. When I try to build from TextMate (Ctrl+R) I get the following error:
Please add the directory containing “kpsewhich” to PATH in TextMate's Shell
Variables preferences.

As rungs is also provided by Ghostscript, my guess is that you have an older installation of Ghostscript on your machine. Somehow, the PATH in TextMate is different than the path in your Terminal, and so the older version is getting called only within TextMate.
To test this, you can use TextMate's "Execute Line Inserting Result" (bound to ^R). In a new TextMate document, try the following commands:
which rungs
rungs -v
echo $PATH (note that TextMate adds its own resources to $PATH, so this will be different. Focus on the order of the system directories like /usr/texbin and /usr/local/bin.)
and check the result against your terminal. If this is indeed the problem, then you can solve this issue by manually setting the PATH variable in TextMate's advanced preferences window to be the same as in your Terminal.
Edit: Does this minimal example compile for you, with either XeLaTeX or pdfLaTeX? I used demo.eps from /usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-dist/doc/latex/guide-to-latex/demo.eps.
\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\includegraphics{demo.eps}
\end{document}
I downloaded TextMate and changed the only PATH in the preferences to read
/usr/texbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
It worked. You might add other directories to the PATH, but remember to separate them by colons. For example
/usr/texbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin

open up the file
~/.bash_profileand add the following to the endThis should patch the issue.
NOTE 1: To open the
~/.bash_profileopen terminal and typemate ~/.bash_profileorvim ~/.bash_profileNOTE 2: The PATH could be located elsewhere for you as mentioned in one of the comments bellow
FYI:
mateis the command line or bash call to TextMate.vimis the bash call to vim (an command line editor).~is the bash reference to your home directory..before a file is UNIX's (What OSX runs on) way of specifying a hidden file, which is why you can't see the .bash_profile in your home folder.
