You need to create a file in your home directory called .gmtversions and list the paths that contain the binary directory for each of the GMT versions you have, even if just one. It should have one line per version. Mine looks like this:

/Users/pwessel/UH/RESEARCH/CVSPROJECTS/GMTdev/gmt-dev/dbuild/gmt6
/Users/pwessel/UH/RESEARCH/CVSPROJECTS/GMTdev/gmt4-dev
/opt/gmt
