Q: iphoto 9.6 won't let me choose new photo library on external hard drive

Been fighting with a huge iPhoto library (194GB) after the upgrade to Yosemite. By reading other threads, I used the iPhoto Library Manager to rebuild my library, but I don't have enough space on my hard drive to make it through all the photos/movies. So I copied the entire library onto an external drive with a terabyte of space. Trying to get iPhoto to point to the new library by holding the 'option' key while opening iPhoto. It gives me the dialog to switch libraries, but when I pick "Other Library", I can see the new library on the external drive, but it won't let me pick it. It is light gray. Are there permissions or locks I need to change to make it available? Thanks

iMac, Mac OS X (10.0.x)
