Did you install any version of gcc using MacPorts?

If you installed gcc-4.9 from hpc, it will likely be installed in /usr/local

This is not a good idea when using MacPorts.

In my case I have the following atlas variant:

$ port -v installed atlas
The following ports are currently installed:
  atlas @3.10.1_5+gcc47 (active) platform='darwin 13' archs=‘x86_64'

In other words you have to specify which flavor of gcc you want to use.
