When I tried it, the problem was the version of libxml2 packaged with gedit.

Use the command "brew install libxml2"

then cp /usr/local/Cellar/libxml2/2.9.1/lib/libxml2.2.dylib /Applications/gedit.app/Contents/Resources/lib/.

In the current version of brew, the directory has changed to 2.9.2 so: then cp /usr/local/Cellar/libxml2/2.9.2/lib/libxml2.2.dylib /Applications/gedit.app/Contents/Resources/lib/.
