Kevin,

Well, first, you don't really need Shapelib.  A modified copy of the Shapelib
code is already embedded in MapServer and GDAL/OGR.

But if you want it anyways, try editing contrib/Makefile in Shapelib, and
changing the GEOOBJ from:

GEOOBJ	=	./shpgeo.o -lm -lproj

To:

GEOOBJ	=	./shpgeo.o -lm -L/usr/local/lib -lproj

Best regards,
