+=== Couldn't find formatter class Spec::Runner::Formatter::TextMateFormatter Make sure the --require option is specified *before* --format
+
+On one of our projects, many of us using TextMate with spork, only one developer got this error message while the rest of us ran just fine.  I don't know exactly why it happened, but requiring the textmate formatter in the prefork block made it go away, like this:
+
+  Spork.prefork do
+    gem "rspec", "= 1.2.6"
+    require 'spec'
+    ...
+    require 'spec/runner/formatter/text_mate_formatter'
+    ...
+  end
