Thank you Cinaed for taking me to this so far, I did the tests you suggested, 
there is only one hackrf_info file and the hackrf_transfer works fine. But for 
the libhackrf.so.0.5.0 or x could not find any of that format but found the 
following files:

/opt/local/include/libhackrf
/opt/local/lib/libhackrf.0.5.0.dylib
/opt/local/lib/libhackrf.0.dylib
/opt/local/lib/libhackrf.a
/opt/local/lib/libhackrf.dylib
/opt/local/lib/pkgconfig/hackrf.pc

not sure if this Mac os because I did not created those manually but relied on 
macport to do that is required. I will try to take from here as it seems the 
libhackrf could be the issue with me


regards

    I don't know how port chops up the programs.
    
    Try
    
      hackrf_transfer --help
    
    If it exists it will spit out a bunch of help commands, then try
    
      hackrf_transfer -r /dev/null
    
    and see if that works.
    
    If it does, see
    
      https://greatscottgadgets.com/sdr
    
    for an explanation of the output.
    
    And make sure there's only one copy of the hackrf_info installed - use
    
      find / -name hackrf_info
    
    and see if the latest version of libhackrf is installed
    
      find / -name libhackrf.so.0.5.0
    
    - at least that's the version I have installed building from the latest
    source code.
    
    It's possible the libhackrf version may be libhackrf.so.0.5.x where x is
    some number.
    
    Otherwise, try
    
      sudo port install gr-osmosdr +full
    
    which will take a while and then
    
      sudo port install gqrx
    
    assuming you haven't already do so - you're going to need them anyway.
    
    Otherwise, I can't help you - I don't understand the problem and I've
    never used a Mac.
