Adding gedit to my PATH
Solution 1:
You only need to add the path to the folder containing the gedit binary, not the path to the binary.
Try this
export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/Applications/gedit.app/Contents/MacOS:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH
Solution 2:
Note: On OS X, you don't need /Application apps to be in the PATH to launch them.
open -a gedit
Check man open
