MacPorts setting an install as Active?

Question

I currently have the following MacPorts installed:

 ImageMagick @6.6.4-9_0+q16
 ImageMagick @6.6.5-0_0+q16 (active)

How do I set 6.6.4 as active?

Answer 1

You need to use the activate and deactivate commands. for example:

port deactivate [email protected]_0+q16

port activate [email protected]_0+q16

Note i may be wrong about the @ syntax for the version... you may want to confirm that in the documentation.
