I updated my environment.plist file to look like this:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://
www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
  <key>PATH</key>
  <string>/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/
bin:/Developer/Tools:/Developer/usr/bin:</string>
  <key>MANPATH</key>
  <string>/usr/X11/share/man:/usr/local/share/man:/Users/Dylan/man:/
Developer/usr/X11/share/man/man3</string>
  <key>PYTHONPATH</key>
  <string>/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin</
string>
  <key>SuperCollider</key>
  <string>/Users/Dylan/Library/Application Support/SuperCollider:/
Applications/SuperCollider</string>
</dict>
</plist>

Yet I still can't get Emacs to locate fsf-gdb (in /opt/local/bin).
Just to make sure I am not missing something, here is what I have in
my .bash_profile:

PATH="$PATH:/Users/Dylan/Library/Application Support/SuperCollider"
export PATH

PATH="$PATH:/Applications/SuperCollider"
export PATH

PATH="$PATH:/usr/share/TargetConfigs/bin"
export PATH

# Setting PATH for Java
export PATH=/usr/bin/java:$PATH

# Setting PATH for Python 2.7
# The orginal version is saved in .bash_profile.pysave
PATH="/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin:${PATH}"
export PATH

# MacPorts Installer addition on 2010-07-28_at_22:39:20: adding an
appropriate PATH variable for use with MacPorts.
export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH
# Finished adapting your PATH environment variable for use with
MacPorts.

When I type the command echo $PATH in Terminal, this is what comes
back:

/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/
Versions/2.7/bin:/usr/bin/java:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/
local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/Developer/
Tools:/Developer/usr/bin:/Users/Dylan/Library/Application Support/
SuperCollider:/Applications/SuperCollider:/usr/share/TargetConfigs/bin

Any other ideas??

Thanks,
Dylan
