No, it will not overwrite the 3.8.2 as installed. It will deactivate 3.8.2 and install 3.6.4 (assuming it builds, etc, that is). Then you can (generally) switch back and forth by just activating the one you want (and, 'port' is smart enough to deactivate the other one automatically for you). - MLD _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
