New description:

 After the dialog below, I gcc_select does not appear in my path:

 {{{
 $ sudo port install gcc_select
 Password:
 --->  Cleaning gcc_select
 }}}

 Spotlight finds the gcc_select executable in the path
 /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_sysutils_gcc_select/work/destroot/opt/local/bin.
 This seems to be a strange installation path.  Could this be switched to
 /opt/local/bin?

Comment:

 Remember to use WikiFormatting.

 There is no longer a gcc_select executable. Read #29531 for an explanation
 of how these ports are now used.
