doxygen @1.8.13_2 (textproc, devel) Installation failure

[fusionx (Prashant Chaudhary)]

I have been trying to install gqrx using macports, but it kept failing on trying to install dependencies. Specific failure was when trying to install doxygen. So I tried installing it manually, but it doesn't help. I have run sudo port clean doxygen and then try to reinstall, but still get the following failure message.

sudo port install doxygen

Installing software in /usr/local can interfere with MacPorts ports and other software compiled from source, so we recommend uninstalling anything you've installed there. See wiki:FAQ#usrlocal. After you do that, clean the affected port (sudo port clean doxygen) and try again.

In this case, you appear to have installed a copy of ​xz in /usr/local, and for some reason (maybe it is an old version, or maybe it was packaged in an unusual way) its headers are directly in /usr/local/include rather than in an lzma subdirectory where they usually are. Because of this, and the fact that your file system is case-insensitive (which is the default on macOS), the xz header block.h is interfering with (i.e. being found instead of) the operating system header /usr/include/Block.h
