#36920: qgis database type list is empty

     Type:  defect    |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal    |  Milestone:
Component:  ports     |    Version:  2.1.2
 Keywords:            |       Port:  qgis
----------------------+--------------------------------
 I installed the qgis port (with no options or variants) on Mountain Lion
 10.8.2.  After starting up qgis, I selected Layer > Add Vector Layer from
 the menu, then checked the radio button for "Database".  The expected form
 fields appeared, but there were no options available to select in the
 database "Type" drop-down; it was empty.  Thus, I couldn't actually make
 any database connections.

 I then installed qgis using the instructions at
 http://www.kyngchaos.com/software/qgis instead, and that copy has the
 database type dropdown correctly populated with ODBC, ESRI Personal
 GeoDatabase and so on, so I believe the original problem was related to
 the macport installation in particular.

 As an aside, with the macports install I got an error on startup that
 said:

 {{{
 Unable to load GdalTools plugin.
 The required "osgeo [python-gdal]" module is missing.
 Install it and try again.
 }}}

 I don't think this is related to the database connection problem, but it's
 worth noting.  Now that I've installed the GDAL framework outside of
 macports I don't get the "Unable to load GdalTools plugin" message when I
 open up the macports install of qgis, but the database type list in the
 macports install is still empty.
