<p>How can i find out this information?</p>

<hr>

<p>Ie, </p>

<p>I can install boost 1.35 with a command like</p>

<pre><code>sudo port install boost
</code></pre>

<p>only to get boost 1.36 via port i would do something like this? </p>

<pre><code>sudo port install boost-1.36
</code></pre>

<p>Hope that clears up my question</p>

If the project is in Visual Studio then you can use the
```
<Solution>
```
task, I think.  That's the simplest/ugliest way of doing it.
edit:
Just realised that SO filtered out my little XML tag there.
