I have tried the above options, but not being too computer savy, some I didnt get. I tried the homebrew option, but terminal says an error occurs when trying to install. I need this 1 file for a work project.

    Please See: http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/29501/how-to-get-gdb-esri-file-geodatabase-in-qgis-for-mac-osx-10-6 – Mapperz Dec 04 '12 at 18:59
  • Please update your Question with more details like the link @Mapperz provided to explain "the homebrew option" and the exact error message you are seeing. You have qgis as a tag so including the QGIS version would probably also be helpful. – PolyGeo Dec 05 '12 at 06:02

KyngChaos offers its version to include in its GDAL framework, see New GDAL FileGDB Plugin.

The plugin installs ogr_FileGDB.dylib. After that, you must download the FileGDB API, because of the Esri's export restrictions, and move 2 .dylib files to /Library/Application Support/GDAL/1.9/Libraries.
