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.
