installed second MacPorts copy, now can't see installed ports

[Allen McBride]

Thanks very much!  I re-installed MP with the defaults, and things  
work again, so I'm relieved.

So for the second install I'd pass, say, "--with-tclpackage=/Library/ 
Tcl-test" or something like that?

Also, I noticed just before re-installing that my bash prompt, which  
had always been begun with "Macintosh:" now begins with  
"Macintosh-2:".  Does this have something to do with MP's changes to / 
Library/Tcl?  (Before today, I had always installed MP with the binary  
packages.)
