gcc44 installs correctly but default gcc is still used

[JosieZiegler@…]

This is probably a very unix newby question so I'm sorry to ask it, but I can't find a good solution in the current tickets, guide or via googling...

I followed this guide (​http://jswails.wikidot.com/mac-os-x) to install macports, and use it to update to v 4.4 of the gcc compiler. Note that I am not doing this for the purpose of using the program that the guide-maker is trying to install (amber). I need gcc4.4 for another reason entirely.

Everything appears to be installed properly based on the output when I run "install" and "select" again. However, when I run gcc, it's clear that gcc 4.2 (the default for me) is still being used (see below).

How do I get my computer to actually use the ported version (gcc4.4)?

FYI, it works fine for me with gcc45.
