gcc12 fault?

[David Nicholls]

I upgraded OSX to the latest Ventura, installed the latest Xcode, and Xcode tools, accepted the license, then reinstalled Macports as per the instructions.  Versions of gcc older than gcc12 failed (as advised in the resintall), so I installed gcc12, ran port select to activate gcc12 and gfortran12. All ok so far.

'which gcc' gives /opt/local/bin/gcc

But:

<xxxx>:~ username$ gcc --version
Apple clang version 14.0.3 (clang-1403.0.22.14.1)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin22.5.0
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin

and

<xxxx>:~ username$ /opt/local/bin/gcc --version
gcc (MacPorts gcc12 12.3.0_0+stdlib_flag) 12.3.0

Why does the command 'gcc --version' not give that same result as '/opt/local/bin/gcc --version' ?

'gfortan --version' works as expected
