GDal problem "no suitable image found" when I run “ogr2ogr” command

Question

I am trying to run "ogr2ogr" command

macbook$ sudo ogr2ogr -f "PostgreSQL" PG:"dbname=test user=postgres" /Users/macbook/planning.gdb

But I am getting this error:

dyld: Library not loaded: /Library/Frameworks/GDAL.framework/Versions/1.10/GDAL
  Referenced from: /Library/Frameworks/GDAL.framework/Programs/ogr2ogr
  Reason: no suitable image found.  Did find:
    /usr/local/lib/GDAL: not a file

I following this answer : Error Updating GDAL with Homebrew

macbook$ export PATH=/Library/Frameworks/GDAL.framework/Programs:$PATH
macbook$ which ogr2ogr 
/Library/Frameworks/GDAL.framework/Programs/ogr2ogr

But I am getting this error whenever I run the "ogr2ogr" command 

macbook$ sudo ogr2ogr -f "PostgreSQL" PG:"dbname=test user=postgres" /Users/macbook/planning.gdb
dyld: Library not loaded: /Library/Frameworks/GDAL.framework/Versions/1.10/GDAL
  Referenced from: /Library/Frameworks/GDAL.framework/Programs/ogr2ogr
  Reason: no suitable image found.  Did find:
    /usr/local/lib/GDAL: not a file

When I run : macbook$ ls /usr/local/lib/ I can find the folder :

dtrace                  libopencv_highgui.dylib
gcc                 libopencv_imgproc.2.4.6.dylib
gdal                    libopencv_imgproc.2.4.dylib

You have a problem with your PATHS:

1. with Homebrew, GDAL is installed in /usr/local/Cellar with symbolic links of the programs (ogr2ogr, etc.) in /usr/local/bin

2. with the Frameworks of KyngChaos, the versions of GDAL are installed in /Library/Frameworks/GDAL.framework/Versions/1.x/GDAL with the programs in /Library/Frameworks/GDAL.framework/Versions/1.x/Programs (/Library/Frameworks/GDAL.framework/Programs is a symbolic link for the version used)

   

The programs of the KyngChaos distribution use the libraries present in the Framework folder (/Library/Frameworks/GDAL.framework)and not those present in /usr/local/lib/GDAL(for Homebrew).

To verify the correct paths, type in the Console:

otool -L ogr2ogr

If the result is:

ogr2ogr:
/Library/Frameworks/GDAL.framework/Versions/1.10/GDAL (compatibility version ...)

You are using the GDAL libraries of KyngChaos

If the result is

ogr2ogr:
/usr/local/lib/GDAL (compatibility version ...)
    ....

You are still using the Homebrew libraries even if if you type export PATH=/Library/Frameworks/GDAL.framework/Programs:$PATH

So you must adapt your paths, look at Building GDAL 1.9.x with ESRI FileGDB support on OS X Lion for example.
