gcc44 installs correctly but default gcc is still used

[Josie Reinhardt]

I changed ~/.profile to:

PATH="$PATH:/opt/local/bin/:/opt/local/sbin/"
export PATH

but something keeps adding /usr/bin, etc back in before /opt/local/bin/

$ echo $PATH
/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/opt/local/bin/:/opt/local/sbin/

I've tried to find another .profile .bash_profile or .bashrc file that
could be overriding but I can't find it?
