thanks for the response Jason & Curt.
using
ls -l
I get
-rw-r--r-- 1 root admin 63440 Sep 16 21:05 lib
so I take it this means it's a file instead of a directory. Let me be
perfectly honest here . . . I have no idea what I'm doing. lol
Should I delete the lib file and make a lib directory here?
Is there something in that lib file of importance and I should not
delete?
Is it possible this could be a permissions or location problem?
Curt - yes on the os - 10.5.8 is one behind current; no on the intel -
I had looked with great longing at the precompiled by J.
McDermond . . . alas. Checked your link to the Mac Notes; have
substantial time invested in the MacPorts method and would like to
follow through with it until it works or my head is pounding . . . .

Sounds like /usr/local/lib is not a directory. do
cd /usr/local
ls -l
and take a look at lib. It should be a directory. mine looks like
drwxr-xr-x 13 root wheel 442 Jun 17 15:35 lib
see that "d" at the beginning of the line? it indicates a directory.
You could have gotten a file ("-" in the first slot), or maybe a
symbolic link ("l" in the first slot). If it's a link, look at the
target to make sure it exists.
FYI, xastir now has shapelib built in, so you can get by without it.
I'd tell you not to worry about it, but if /usr/local/lib is broken
you'll need to get it fixed before you're done, even if you skip
shapelib.
