Qgis in mavericks

Assume you have homebrew
It throws some warnings now and then but still works ok.
brew install python --with-brewed-openssl
brew install gfortran
pip install scipy
brew install pkg-config
pip install matplotlib
cd ~/src
wget http://initd.org/psycopg/tarballs/PSYCOPG-2-5/psycopg2-2.5.2.tar.gz
tar xvf psycopg2-2.5.2.tar.gz 
cd psycopg2-2.5.2
nano setup.cfg
make it look like this
[build_ext]
define=PSYCOPG_EXTENSIONS,PSYCOPG_NEW_BOOLEAN,HAVE_PQFREEMEM,HAVE_PQPROTOCOL3
 
# PSYCOPG_EXTENSIONS enables extensions to PEP-249 (you really want this)
# PSYCOPG_DISPLAY_SIZE enable display size calculation (a little slower)
# HAVE_PQFREEMEM should be defined on PostgreSQL >= 7.4
# HAVE_PQPROTOCOL3 should be defined on PostgreSQL >= 7.4
# PSYCOPG_DEBUG can be added to enable verbose debug information
# PSYCOPG_OWN_QUOTING can be added, but it is deprecated (will go away in 2.1)
# PSYCOPG_NEW_BOOLEAN to format booleans as true/false vs 't'/'f'
 
# Set to 1 to use Python datatime objects for default date/time representation.
use_pydatetime=1
 
# If the build system does not find the mx.DateTime headers, try
# uncommenting the following line and setting its value to the right path.
#mx_include_dir=
 
# For Windows only:
# Set to 1 if the PostgreSQL library was built with OpenSSL.
# Required to link in OpenSSL libraries and dependencies.
have_ssl=0
 
# Statically link against the postgresql client library.
static_libpq=0
 
# "pg_config" is the preferred method to locate PostgreSQL headers and
# libraries needed to build psycopg2. If pg_config is not in the path or
# is installed under a different name uncomment the following option and
# set it to the pg_config full path.
pg_config=/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_config
 
# If "pg_config" is not available, "include_dirs" can be used to locate
# postgresql headers and libraries. Some extra checks on sys.platform will
# still be done in setup.py.
# The next line is the default as used on psycopg author Debian laptop:
#include_dirs=/usr/local/lib
 
# Uncomment next line on Mandrake 10.x (and comment previous ones):
#include_dirs=/usr/include/pgsql/8.0:/usr/include/pgsql/8.0/server
 
# Uncomment next line on SUSE 9.3 (and comment previous ones):
#include_dirs=/usr/include/pgsql:/usr/include/pgsql/server
 
# If postgresql is installed somewhere weird (i.e., not in your runtime library
# path like /usr/lib), just add the right path in "library_dirs" and any extra
# libraries required to link in "libraries".
library_dirs=/usr/local/pgsql/lib
libraries=/usr/lib
then install
sudo python setup.py install
  1. Download and install the GDAL Complete framework (double click and install the package) – this gives you some required frameworks (applications) including GDAL, GEOS and SQLite (which are all useful in their own right) giving you command line access to those apps as well;
  2. Download and install the GSL framework (double click and install the package);
  3. Download and install QGIS (open the .dmg and drag the app to the Applications folder).
Alternatively you can install full apple python and ignore all above brew libraries
