The QGIS package I downloaded was
http://www.kyngchaos.com/files/software/qgis/QGIS-2.6.1-2.dmg
which I thought was the most recent version.
I no longer have the GDAL Complete URL in my browser to verify what I
downloaded, but the dmg file is called GDAL_Complete-1.11.dmg, and it's
dated Dec. 7, 2014.
It's possible that I tried to install things in a different order than I
was supposed to, but I don't think so.
Get Info on the Frameworks/GDAL.framework folder gives me GDAL/OGR
1.11.1-2 for the Version. That's helpful, but I still don't know how to
determine whether I have GDAL complete or incomplete (other than the
fact that I happen to remember downloading and installing GDAL Complete
last night, and I still have the dmg lying around). I searched under
Frameworks/GDAL.framework for a readme, but didn't find one.
Regards,
Lars

SQLite3 is NOT needed separately. Are you sure you downloaded the
most recent GDAL Complete and QGIS? There was a change in December in
SQLite3 (part of GDAL Complete) that required a rebuild of QGIS. So
if you have an old copy of one and new other, they won't work
together. QGIS and GDAL versions did not change, just the builds, so
it may be confusing.
GDAL Complete is a collection of frameworks, what's needed for GDAL
to function. The frameworks are listed in the readme: GDAL, PROJ,
GEOS, SQLite3, UnixImageIO, plust the NumPy Python module. Other
than the major GDAL version, I only version the whole package by date
in the readme, since any of the bits can change. Get Info on the
frameworks to see which of each version is installed.

Thanks, Junior and William. I ended up installing GSL separately
just in case. (And I made sure I already had MatPlotLib.) But it's
good to know that, at least in the mailing list archives, we've
straightened out the fact that as of 2.6, it's not necessary to
install GSL separately.
Incidentally, when I ran the QGIS installer, it told me that SQLite
3 was a missing requirement, and wouldn't continue the
installation. So I installed SQLite 3, after which the QGIS
installer worked fine.
So I guess SQLite 3 should be added to the requirements on both of
the web pages mentioned below? So the list should be: - GDAL
Complete - SQLite 3 - MatPlotLib
Another nice bit of info to have somewhere would be, how do I tell
what I already have installed? E.g. last night before I installed
GDAL Complete (having installed QGIS 2.4 and GDAL in the past), I
had /Library/Frameworks/GDAL.framework, and I wasn't sure if that
was GDAL Complete or just GDAL. So I installed GDAL Complete; but
it apparently installed in the same folder. And the
/Library/Frameworks/GDAL.framework/Versions directory still has the
same contents as before: 1.11 and Current (which is a symlink to
1.11). So how do I know whether I have GDAL Complete? And similarly
for the other requirements.
Thanks for all your contributions to make QGIS available and usable
for the masses!

GSL is NOT needed, it's packaed inside the app. I'm sure I asked
someone to remove that from the QGIS site but nothing was done
about it.

Hi, I looked at the installation notes for Mac OS X at
https://www.qgis.org/en/site/forusers/download.html, where it
says This version requires separate installation of dependency
frameworks (GDAL Complete and GSL) , also found at the download
link below. The link below is
http://www.kyngchaos.com/software/qgis But on that page, I find
no mention of GSL, only GDAL. (I figured out that GSL refers to
the GNU Scientific Library, FWIW.)
One other requirement is listed on the kyngchaos.com web site
(and not on the QGIS.org download page): the MatPlotLib python
module.
So I'm confused ... do I really need to install GSL separately,
and if so, where can I find an installer for Mac OS X? And is
the kyngchaos.com web page in error, or is the GQIS.org
download page out of date?
The previous version of QGIS that I have installed, v2.4, seems
to have GSL inside it:
/Applications/QGIS.app/Contents/Frameworks/GSL.framework
Thanks, Lars
