Thanks Bill, Chris - I have created an appropriate .bash_profile (as described in the Guide) and everything appears normal now.

I've searched back to the time when Migration Assistant restored my user directory. That .bash_profile had several comments made at the time(s) that MacPorts install post-flight added and export of an amended PATH, but I couldn't find a comment that corresponded to my most  recent Macports install (which was shortly after finishing with Migration Assistant). However, that absence could have been due to the timing of backups. In any case, the restored .bash_profile should have worked just fine, so I'm at a loss to know how my  .bash_profile became "corrupted" post restoration.

Never mind - all good now. Thanks again.

I've just migrated to Sonoma 14.0 via a clean OS install plus Migration

Port ruby31 installed without problems but ruby-select doesn't seem to work/be effective

OS default ruby 2.6.10

I've checked /opt/local/bin/ruby and it points (correctly?) to ruby3.1.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Did you start a new terminal session after run port select for ruby ?
Yes I did, Chris - I shut terminal down and restarted it a couple of times as 
well.  Chris F
Check the order of directories in your $PATH environment variable. If the 
sub-directories under /usr are listed before those under /opt/local, you will 
use the base install executables instead oF those installed by MacPorts.
Exactly. If once you have started a fresh terminal

Doesn’t list the macports provided one, the issue is your personal PATH is not 
set correctly.
