Sounds like your PATH in a shell and your Emacs exec-path don't agree.
Might you be using GUI Emacs?

If so, you'll need to make sure that you either muck with the
exec-path so that it contains a reference to the install location of
gdb _or_ do something like editing your launchd.conf file so that all
processes get the new PATH information.
