Thanks for spoting this, the strange thing is that when I display the version from my mac utility port “sudo port installed hackrf” it shows me the right ver which is 2017.2.1 but I do not know how to check for the libhackrf !!!!!! as I left all this to be taken care by the pakage utitity PORT

Please don't send binary images - just copy the output text into your
email.
You don't have the correct version of libhackrf and utilities to match
the installed firmware on the HackRF.
The installed firmware is 2017.2.1.
The libhackrf version is: "unknown".
The hackrf_info version is: "unknown".
You need to install the 2017.2.1 version of the libhackrf and utilities from
https://github.com/mossmann/hackrf/releases
When both the version of hackrf_info and libhackrf match the firmware
version of 2017.02.1 then it will work.
