Problem with OS X installation instructions

I followed the instructions on this page to install the gnucash port:
<http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/MacOSX/MacPortsDetail>
I then decided to upgrade to the gnucash-devel port, and followed
those instructions.
This resulted in a variety of errors due to conflicts between guile/
slib-guile and guile16/slib-guile16. Examples:
Error: Target com.apple.activate returned: Image error: /opt/local/
bin/guile is being used by the active guile16 port. Please
deactivate this port first, or use the -f flag to force the activation.
Error: Target com.apple.destroot returned: could not create new link
"/opt/local/var/db/dports/build/
_opt_local_var_db_dports_sources_rsync.rsync.darwinports.org_dpupdate_dp
orts_devel_slib-guile/work/destroot//opt/local/share/guile/slib":
that path already exists
I *think* the right sequence of commands to upgrade would be this:
sudo port deactivate gnucash
sudo port deactivate slib-guile16
sudo port deactivate guile16
My sequence of commands & missteps was much less direct, but I think
it accomplished essentially the same thing.
