I think it's working now: $ which gcc /opt/local/bin/gcc But for whatever reason the PATH I'm getting back is _not_ what I set in ~/.profile: Here's the entirety of .profile (now that I've cleaned it up): export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH But when I open a new terminal and echo path I get $ echo $PATH /opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin Still at least now /opt/local/bin are in front... but where did the other stuff come from???
