[GIS] Opening file geodatabase using QGIS for Mac

file-geodatabasehomebrewmacqgis

I'm trying to open a GDB on QGIS for Mac but having no luck.

Details:

  1. I'm currently running OS 10.9.3 on my laptop.
  2. I downloaded and installed QGIS 2.6.1-2 from KyngChaos
  3. I installed the GDAL complete package (including NumPy) and the Matplotlib, both from KyngChaos
  4. I attempted to follow Ragi Yaser Burhum's udpated Homebrew advice from this page. I was successful up through step 3; however, step 4 ("Install gdal using brew…") was not successful for me—perhaps because I had already installed it via the package from KyngChaos?

What should I do from here?
