is it possible to install an older version of a port, if the last one (installed the usual way) crashes?
Yes, but it takes a bit of effort: - You could either look in the repository browser [1], find the source of the old portfile that you want, download it, and overwrite your local portfile for that port [2]. - Or you could use a Subversion working copy for your ports tree, and use "svn up" to backdate a port to a previous version. But this is all really not how MacPorts is designed to be used. The intention is that there is one version of a port, it is the latest an greatest, and if it does not work, then we need to fix it so that it works. What port is crashing for you?
