I'm trying to install GDAL for Python on my mac (OSX 10.9.2). I did: 

>>> brew install GDAL

and got:

>>> 🍺  /usr/local/Cellar/gdal/1.11.3_1: 230 files, 33.1M

now:

>>> pip install GDAL

and I get a very long error log...

    Installing libraries with Homebrew places them into a completely different directory (the cellar) and install symlinks to the originals in the /bin folder. Installing the same library files on top of Homebrew using direct Python installation protocols will break Homebrew installed libraries. You might want to run a "brew update" to see if things can be cleaned up/fixed.

  • In addition, typically when you use the brew'd GDAL it comes with the Python libraries already, so in theory once you've installed it you should be able to do from osgeo import gdal in Python. However, if you're using the inbuilt OSX Python I'd strongly recommend going for the pre-compiled GDAL pacakges as compiled by William Kyngesburye.

  • Welcome to GIS SE. As a new user, please take the Tour to i.a. get accustomed with how to write a good answer; an expert answer on specialized software issues has to be more than a two-liner! While possibly a valuable hint, your answer should elaborate on why you think that can help solving the issue and present the mentioned software in a nutshell, instead of just throwing in names and links.
