Here's what I managed to do on my system, using the Shapelib that
comes with Xastir:

    cd xastir/src/shapelib/contrib
    mv Makefile Makefile.2
    mv Makefile_orig Makefile
    make shpdxf;make shpproj;make dbfinfo;make shpcentrd;make shpdata;make shpwkb; make dbfcat;make shpinfo;make shpfix;make shpcat

This builds _some_ of the executables on my system, but not all.
The rest error out during the compile.  It created these
executables:

    shpdxf
    dbfinfo
    dbfcat
    shpfix
    shpcat

Including "dbfinfo" which you were after.
