Comment:

 The code in source-highlight's langmap.cpp that prints the `wrong
 specification` message is:

 {{{
     while (read_line(in, line)) {
         if (line.size()) {
             boost::cmatch what;
             if (!boost::regex_match(line.c_str(), what, assoc_exp))
                 throw ParserException("wrong specification" + line,
 filename,
                         lineno);
             else if (!what[3].matched) // not all spaces
                 langmap[what[1]] = what[2];
         }
         ++lineno;
     }
 }}}

 The use of boost in this code suggests that the problem could be a broken
 boost installation. If source-highlight is not building for you, it might
 be helpful for us to know the details of the boost that you have
 installed. Run `port -v installed boost`. source-highlight
 @3.1.9_0+universal built fine for me just now on High Sierra with:

 {{{
 $ port -v installed boost
 The following ports are currently installed:
   boost @1.71.0_3+no_single+no_static+python38+universal (active)
 platform='darwin 17' archs='i386 x86_64' date='2020-08-16T01:12:42-0500'
 }}}
